Super Evil Megacorp said that Vainglory, the company’s mobile-based multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title, is going cross platform on Windows and the Mac in early 2019.

Kristian Segerstrale, CEO of San Mateo, California-based Super Evil Megacorp, said in an interview with GamesBeat that players in any of the versions of Vainglory — Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS — will be able to play in the same multiplayer game together with “competitive parity” in five-versus-five matches. The cross-platform play started recently as an alpha test (with a free skin as a reward).
