I’m going to start with a couple of general rules for polite conversation. One, never ask someone their age, and two, never ask a Valorant fan when Valorant mobile is coming out. I’m serious, it’s a sore topic. Delta Force publisher Tencent is clearly busy, though… reviving the popular 2007 FPS gem, Crossfire. Yes, Crossfire is making another comeback, and there’s finally something to look forward to in Crossfire: Legends, a mobile-exclusive take on the acclaimed shooter.
Following Crossfire: Legends’ initial announcement in July, pre-registration is now open for FPS game lovers in Southeast Asia. It’s okay, I’m not jealous about that at all. For the rest of the world hoping to get a slice of the action, you’ll need to wait for developer Smilegate to roll out localization in your country. Tencent giveth and taketh away, I guess. A 5v5 FPS search and destroy game, Crossfire: Legends’ setup and trailer places it roughly halfway between Counter Strike and Valorant in my mind.
While the maps and utility look quite CS:GO adjacent with generally more stripped back visuals, the characters and skins in the trailer make it a little more colorful, something for which Valorant is famous. The game shares one common thread with Riot Games’ hit shooter, though: it’s in a similar kind of hellish limbo to Valorant mobile. The game is also available in one region right now, with no word on the global release. There may be good news on this front, though.
