After the recent success of Arcane based on League of Legends, Riot Games may be working on another gaming adaptation. According to a report from Kingdom Laboratories, a Valorant movie is currently in development.

Why it matters: Gaming adaptations are becoming increasingly popular in the film and TV show industry after the recent quality and success of various releases. This has encouraged various developers and publishers to pursue opportunities to adapt their IPs.

This information comes from a popular Valorant leaker and data miner, who suggests the first trailer for the movie may be released in October 2024.

The leaker claims that Riot Games is collaborating with Tencent to bring Valorant to the big screen. This will lead to a different art and animation style than Arcane for a distinct look.

Fans can expect the movie to be animated in a style similar to the game’s cinematic celebrating the launch in China. Furthermore, the leak states that the film will be released in 2025.

While this sounds very exciting, fans should keep expectations in check and take the leak with a slight grain of salt.

Recent gaming adaptations like Super Mario Bros and The Last of Us have been incredibly well received. Famous actors like Jack Black have also expressed interest in adaptations of games like Red Dead Redemption.

Like League of Legends, Valorant has a vast and distinct cast of characters. Therefore, Riot Games could use the game’s intriguing characters and lore to develop another fantastic gaming adaptation.

Additionally, Riot Games has confirmed that another season of Arcane is in the works. This leads to plenty of potential for movies and TV shows from the publisher in the coming years.
