Super Evil Megacorp took the idea of the hardcore PC multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) and translated it to a touchscreen experience on a tablet. Now, the company’s Vainglory game will debut in markets that have millions of hardcore mobile gamers: Japan and South Korea.

Vainglory, a game like League of Legends where three players play against three others simultaneously, debuts in the Apple App Store in South Korea and Japan in January.
