7 Best upcoming mobile games
1. Valorant Mobile
Valorant is one game that changed the face of FPS gaming for decades when it launched for PC in 2020. Since its launch, Valorant’s popularity has gone up only, with rumors of a mobile game in the works for some time. However, Riot confirmed last year that the developer aims to bring Valorant to mobile devices.
Given the news, there’s still little to no information about the upcoming Valorant mobile; how the game will look, will it draw many similarities from its PC counterpart, or will Valorant mobile be in a league of its own. Whatever the case may be, we know that Riot sure knows how to make an amazing game, and we expect nothing less from Valorant mobile.

At the same time, the official name of the upcoming and under-the-works mobile game is not yet announced. For the time being, it’s called Project Aurora. However, at this point, it’s easy to figure out that the title will be a Warzone-like game for mobile devices.
For a long time, fans have wanted Activision to introduce Warzone-like features to COD mobile, evolving the game further. Meanwhile, Activision had plans of its own. That being said, if the developers manage to make the mobile title close to its PC and console counterpart, COD mobile Warzone or whatever the game might be called is sure to come out as the best mobile game of the year it is launched.
