A Valorant leaker has suggested that a film based on the game, akin to LoL’s Arcane, is being developed by Tencent and scheduled for a 2025 release.
When Riot Games released Arcane, a TV series based on their wildly popular MOBA League of Legends, it became a smash hit as it brought new eyes to League of Legends and Riot Games at large.
There have been questions about whether Riot would be doing it again, creating a TV show or film based on its other stories in LoL or for their new IP, Valorant, as Arcane was confirmed for a second season.
Now, it seems there may be a film in the works based on Valorant after all, a popular leaker has claimed.
According to Kingdom Laboratories, a film based on the game is releasing in 2025. The leaker linked to a YouTube livestream that will air on October 13, 2024, with a supposed thumbnail for the trailer.

Additionally, the leaker claimed that the film will be made by Tencent and is currently in production, adding that it will be different from Arcane and more in line with the cinematic that was released to celebrate the Chinese launch of Valorant.
This is a stark departure from the creation of Arcane, which was developed by French studio Fortiche, in which Riot now has a controlling stake.
Valorant’s cinematics have historically been worked on by various Western studios. Riot has yet to publicly confirm or deny the leaks of a possible film.
