Free-To-Play MOBA Arena Of Valor Is Fighting Towards Switch

Free ?

Definitely willing to give this a go.

Is that the Doom theme playing?

Looks pretty cool.

A MOBA on consoles is a good idea, and i think something like this could work well on Switch unlike the other consoles due to touchscreen support. I wonder how a fully fledged MOBA would work?

Free to play? Wait... how does the monetization work then? Via the Eshop I'm guessing?

free to play on phones or pc i bet. Even then it's freemium i bet. They will charge SOMETHING on the switch.

Dreams do come true.

@MamaLuigi Maybe those little Doomguy figures formed a band.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Actually really looking forward to this!

I'm excited by what this means more than anything. Genres that Nintendo systems didn't get before are the first step to diverse libraries.

League of Legends is that you? Even the art style looks the same. The purple demon chick looks like Illidan from Warcraft.

A portable MOBA? Nintendo KILL IT TONIGHT!

why can't ANY of these games have decently modest girl costumes? it's obnoxious.

Eh, honestly if it's not League of Legends or DotA, it just feels like a poser to me. Maybe that's unfair, but that's my general impression when it comes to MOBAs.

Worth a look, I'd say. Not League of Legends but if it's not coming, at least there's MOBA on Switch to rally behind.

Looks like a league clone. Now, a nintendo themed MOBA - that is something I could get behind!

@Grawlog Mobas is actually one of the few kinds of F2P styles of games im ok with supporting, used to spend cash on skins for all my favorite hereoes in LoL for years before i quit.

@Reignmaker @BlueKnight07 This is basically a league clone on mobile and Tencent owns both IPs to start with. The Chinese variant of this game is absolutely huge in China and arguably even bigger than League itself.

@Godsent That's great news! I'm happy to hear that Tencent owns both. Hopefully that means characters can merge between the two games.

This isn't League of Legends! You lied to me!

I had no idea this game was so huge. I figured it was something up and coming, like Dawngate was a few years back. Honestly this game excites me and I can't wait to play it. This could also be the first step towards an idea I read a while back on another site. I'll share the link for you guys to check out as well. http://www.joystikrevolution.com/smash-world-switch-edition/
Honestly if Nintendo ever made an in house MOBA, I would fall over. They might need to find better communication methods for it, but it would be awesome to play all the same. So excited for the future as a Switch owner.

Apparently this is huge in China

Curious to see how big the game's Population will be when the game actually releases. More players, more fun (usually) so this game is definitely going on my wish list.

Sign me up. This is probably the game that will buy me a Switch!
