VALORANT MOBILE GO-TO-MARKET LAUNCH
BRING IT ALL
▬
▬
Despite showing off insane skills, mobile players have long been treated as second-class citizens by the gaming industry. No amount of mastery and consistency by them has shifted that perception.
With VALORANT Mobile, a true competitive and high-stakes VALORANT experience, we’re changing that. This is the players’ chance to flex in a game that demands it all: tactics, aim, teamwork.
Where being the best is not enough

We created this trailer to show why teamwork is so demanding in our game, and why the payoff is worth it. The actions are choreographed to capture exactly what it feels like to play VALORANT.
This is our way of proving our mastery ceiling potential but also that VALORANT mobile is VALORANT through and through. I directed this with BLUR on top of my creative direction duties.

SETTING THE BAR FOR MOBILE GAMEPLAY TRAILERS
▬
▬
Traditionally, FPS mobile trailers have relied on mouse and keyboard gameplay: it’s easier and more convenient to record this way. But if we truly want to honor the mastery of FPS mobile players, we need to raise the bar.

This trailer is recorded entirely on mobile, setting a new standard for the industry. It’s proof of the high skill ceiling unique to our game, something other FPS mobile titles simply haven’t been able to showcase.
