Epic Games add Valorant, League of Legends to their store

Valorant, League of Legends and other titles under Riot Games including Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra have been added to the Epic Games Store as a part of the promotion campaign for their upcoming animated Netflix series “Arcane”, set to be released on November 6. 

This partnership with Riot will indeed prove to be a boon for Epic Games spearheading the former’s desperate bid to compete with Valve’s steam, an international video game digital distributor. By 2017, users purchasing games through Steam totaled roughly US$4.3 billion, representing at least 18% of global PC game sales as they further expanded to 95 million monthly active users while Epic Games had reported 160 million users via PC at the end of 2020.

Steve Allison, Epic Games Store general manager stated in a press release,

Riot Games is one of the world’s best developers and creators of groundbreaking entertainment franchises. We’re excited they’ve chosen to partner with us to bring their titles to millions of new players through the Epic Games Store.

Epic Games undoubtedly will have some resounding success ahead of showcasing Valorant and League of Legends on their store as the former has been hot property on the shelves ever since its launch in June, 2020. With the first person tactical shooter now on Epic Games, the numbers will seem to have bolstered new heights for both the game and Riot.

To further commemorate the launch of Arcane, Riot Games have added some confetti by introducing a special battle-pass and collectors set to Valorant, only to be secured during the event. This event will run from November 5-22 and may also require you to connect your Twitch account with that of Valorant.

A free for all battle pass will be soon deployed by Riot into Valorant. It’s been learnt that the special collectors set would have a purple and golden-themed sheriff and would be the only item in the set and does resemble the theme of Jinx, the main protagonist of the Riot’s Netflix series. Epic Games in association with Riot too have shipped a Jinx themed Costume set into Fortnite, made available to be purchased from the in-game store starting November 4.
