It's no secret that Arena of Valor will be coming to Nintendo Switch this month, but at the time there was no specific date. While we've still not had confirmation, there are suggestions that we might be getting it next week.

If you think Arena of Valor sounds familiar that's because it should be. As an incredibly popular 5v5 MOBA for mobile, this free-to-play game will give the Switch yet another highly-competitive title for us to dive into alongside Fortnite.

Though there's no cross-compatibility, you might be able to transfer your characters/rewards to the Switch. Tencent have yet to drop any major updates around this, but I don't see why it'd be a problem.

Over on Nintendo Everything earlier today, it was reported that a listing from Tencent had gone up on the Switch's Japanese eShop. This noted that it would be launching on September 25th, though this can always change.

We hope it'll launch as early as that, but there's only a couple of weeks left in the month. It can't be too far off either way.
