Ready for Battle? Tencent Takes First Steps into Europe with Launch of MOBA Game Arena of Valor

Making its first moves into the gaming market across Europe this week is Tencent Games. Arena of Valor is the 5V5 mobile MOBA game published by Proxima Beta that has become a huge success in Asia.

Launched in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, Arena of Valor topped the iOS and Android download charts in less than a year since launching. It’s now officially coming to Europe mobile games lovers.

If you’re a fan of MOBA games, Arena of Valor’s design and gameplay is something you’re going to love. The development team has ensured a blend of awesome graphics with the best that MOBA games have to offer to bring a mobile title to market that gamers across all platforms will enjoy playing. Arena of Valor offers player’s three lanes and a jungle, modes of gameplay that includes 5v5, and a selection of heroes to play with. There’s also the original soundtrack of the game composed by famous composer Hanz Zimmer – just to take the gaming experience up a notch.

Players will be able to notice the similarities to PC MOBAs once they commence battle such as matches with players from all over the world, battling together with their friends and striking up partnerships with fellow players. What’s the key to success? Coordination and communication is what you’ll require to deal with the fast-paced combat scenes of the game. It’s not all rush rush rush though – Arena of Valor also needs you to think strategically to ensure you’re victorious. The game’s handy voice chat feature, which is built-in means you can consult with your team members at any time.

Unlike the way PC MOBAs need some serious time commitment, Arena of Valor has been created to mould to your lifestyle. Matches that last on 15 minutes on average mean it’s perfect whilst you’re on the daily commute or have some time to spare at lunch.

Win, win and win again. Keep doing that and you’ll soon earn the rewards in the form of in-game currency and rise in the rankings. Those earnings will come in handy when you need to unlock heroes to make sure an opponent never outmatches you.

Arena of Valor is now available as a free download on iOS and Android.
