Nintendo may have pulled off one of its best deals so far for their emerging Switch console, which will also help it stand out further against the PS4 and Xbox One.
For those that don’t know, Nintendo announced a range of new games coming to their hybrid device earlier this year.
And there was one reveal that might have slipped by you.
Arena of Valor is an online multiplayer battle arena title published by Tencent Games, which has proven a huge success in China.
According to the latest news surrounding the popular game, Arena of Valor already has over 160m registered users.
What’s more, it also offers similar gameplay to both DOTA 2 and League of Legends, providing a 5-vs-5 setup that will certainly feel familiar to those who enjoy the genre.
Arena of Valor was confirmed for launch on the Nintendo Switch earlier this year, and will also be launching on iOS, and Android.
This will mean that the Switch will be getting a hugely successful MOBA as a console exclusive in the near future.
