Vainglory Android Release Date Set for July 2nd

Vainglory, Super Evil Megacorp’s multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), is pretty popular. Popular enough to be featured at Apple’s September 2014 keynote. Popular enough to command huge Twitch audiences, and headline an upcoming tournament in Seoul. And, finally, popular enough to get an Android release.

We knew it was coming, but now we finally know when. Vainglory is coming to Android platforms on July 2. That’s not all, though. Super Evil is celebrating Vainglory truly going global by initiating a huge update for the game. Players will be able to choose between Casual and Ranked challenges, which are easy-going and hardcore affairs, respectively.

Tons of new player skins are also incoming (so soft!), and a new character: Rona, a berserker who specializes in melee combat. Like you’d expect. Ever see a berserker try to use a gun? Jittery as heck. No good.

On July 1, Super Evil will broadcast the worldwide launch of Vainglory at Twitch’s headquarters in San Francisco. Be there, or Rona will disapprove of your absence by plowing her fist into your face.
