Riot Games x BBNO$: Anthem Marks VALORANT Mobile China Launch

VALORANT Mobile will be released in China on August 19, 2025, and Riot Games is celebrating the release with a cultural partnership. The studio collaborated with Canadian rapper BBNO$ to create a brand-new anthem, “BRING IT ALL // IN MY ZONE,” which also doubles as an anthem for their first VALORANT team.

BBNO$ Teams Up With Riot for VALORANT Mobile Anthem

The song embodies the feel of VALORANT Mobile, along with the new music video – where VALORANT agents Jett, Omen, Viper, Neon and Sova – are exemplified in action. The video depicts the agents throughout the steps of an elaborately executed engagement together; however, Jett breaks away and almost costs the entire team the match. The video itself reflects one of the critical messages from the game that teamwork and trust is more important than the heroics of one single player.

The song was written by Alexander Gumuchian (BBNO$), Jesse Saint John, and Ari David Starace, produced by Y2K. The song is available on streaming platforms, along with the official music video. The tone of the track reflects the energy of the launch and connects to VALORANT’s identity as an agent-driven team shooter.

VALORANT Mobile’s Big Step in China

The release of VALORANT Mobile in China represents a significant step in Riot’s plan to take the shooter off of PC. The game maintains core mechanics from PC while integrating mobile-specific features for balance and accessibility.

Some notable features at launch:

Replay System (coming in September)
Gifting System
Two maps built exclusively for mobile: Shipyard and Ancient Village

Riot Games and Tencent are thought to have invested ~1.5 billion RMB (~$200 million) in the game to build an esports ecosystem, and pre-registration numbers in China have already reached ~60-70 million.

The game is more than a regional launch – it will serve as an initial test of VALORANT Mobile’s systems, competitive structure and scalability ahead of the worldwide launch. Esports events and team structure is already being established in China, and some speculate the worldwide launch around Champions Paris 2025 (late 2025 or early 2026). Riot has not confirmed this yet.

The collaboration with BBNO$ brings in extra layers:

Cultural synergy – BBNO$’s style connects with VALORANT’s debut.
Storytelling – The video highlights the risk of solo play, linking the message with gameplay.
Momentum – The anthem gives the community a rallying point for the launch.

With “BRING IT ALL // IN MY ZONE,” Riot and BBNO$ have made more than a soundtrack. They delivered an anthem that reflects teamwork, energy, and strategy, the same values at the core of VALORANT.

Whether you are a veteran player or starting with mobile, the launch combines music, esports, and story into the next step for the franchise.
