The game's serial number is 13 and it's called “VALORANT: Operation Primal". This name could be a code name for the game's first episode, as Riot Games, like most developers, hide the actual data until before the release date.

The other fields are populated with “Shanghai Literature and Art Audiovisual Electronic Publishing House Co., Ltd.” and “Shenxiang (Shanghai) Information Technology Co., Ltd.” - which might be in charge of publishing the game in China. The image also contains serial numbers dated June 5, 2024, which is likely when the game was approved in the country. Fans might see the mobile Variant of Riot’s shooter title sooner than expected.
