Arena of Valor

A year after it was originally announced, Arena of Valor appears to have a Switch release date. Tencent added a listing to the Japanese eShop today, which shows that it’s launching on September 25.

Arena of Valor also has eShop pages in North America and Europe. However, neither of these listings have a release date. That being said, a worldwide launch is likely.

Arena of Valor was originally a mobile game. For the Switch version, Tencent has taken that base, but has made some improvements and changes.

Something we heard about previously is that Arena of Valor will have boosted visuals on Switch. Engadget says this extends to animations as well, and there will be enhanced lighting effects by smoothing out rough lines and adding elements such as fluttering butterflies to the maps.

Arena of Valor launches for Switch in September. The Nintendo Switch Online subscription service is also arriving in the same month. Thankfully, the two won’t be connected as Tencent has confirmed you won’t need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber in order to play.

A theory has been going around that free-to-play games on Switch won’t require a Nintendo Switch Online membership. This certainly backs up that speculation.
