Tencent probably expected more from Arena of Valor when it launched the game in North America last December. After all, it was the highest grossing mobile title last year, pulling in $1.9 billion in revenue. It’s gargantuan in China, but on this side of the Pacific, it barely registers. Even with the mythos-shattering introduction of DC heroes like Batman and Superman, it’s mostly floundered. People are playing it — I’ve never had an issue connecting to a game — just most of the people on this continent aren’t spending any money on it. So what do you do in 2018 when you want to make money on a video game? You put it on Switch.
If you’re already familiar with Arena of Valor, there are a few things you should know about the Switch port. For starters, a Nintendo Switch Online subscription is not required to play. Second, the Switch version will interact with neither the iOS nor Android versions. Finally, at the time of this writing, the Death Match game option and DC characters are not available. Anything this game lacks, compared to the mobile versions, it makes up for by being a more polished and playable version of the game.
