New Leak Reveals VALORANT Mobile Might Be Closer Than We Think

A recent post from Joy Chao, a global community lead at Riot Games, has caught my attention. She shared that Riot is now hiring a Community Manager for their VALORANT Mobile team. This move strongly hints that the mobile version of the popular game could be launching soon.

Riot Games, the studio behind VALORANT, is known for its tactical first-person shooter that first hit the scene in 2020. The game quickly became a favorite for its mix of sharp gunplay and unique agent abilities, drawing in millions of players on PC. Now, with this new job posting, it looks like Riot is ready to bring that same energy to mobile devices.

The role of Community Manager for VALORANT Mobile comes with a one-year contract. It involves working closely with the VALORANT publishing team to support the game’s community. This includes managing campaigns, helping with player communications like patch notes, and creating strategies to keep players engaged. The job also requires someone with at least three years of experience in community management, especially in mobile gaming, and a background with top-grossing titles.

Another key detail is the pay range for this position, which is set between $51.74 and $67.90 per hour. This shows Riot is serious about finding the right person to connect with players and build a strong mobile community for VALORANT.

Riot has been working on VALORANT Mobile for a while now. The game was first announced back in 2021, with the goal of bringing the full VALORANT experience to mobile without losing what makes it special. Testing phases have already happened in some regions, like China, where players got a chance to try it out. Those early tests showed that Riot is focusing on keeping the core gameplay intact, even on smaller screens.

This hiring news from Joy Chao adds to the excitement. It suggests that Riot is moving into the next stage of preparing for a global launch. With a Community Manager in place, they’ll be ready to handle player feedback and build a thriving mobile community, which is a big step toward release.

I’m looking forward to seeing how VALORANT Mobile turns out. The idea of playing such a competitive game on the go is thrilling, and Riot’s track record with VALORANT on PC gives me confidence they’ll deliver something great. For now, we’ll have to wait and see, but this job posting feels like a clear sign that the launch isn’t far off.
