Hello, SurpriseBirthday here.

At Super Evil Megacorp we love breaking technical boundaries for gamers. In 2014, we demonstrated 60FPS MOBA play on the iPhone 6 stage during Apple’s keynote. Fast forward to 2017: We took the stage with Samsung to show off Vainglory on the Samsung DEX, a hybrid Android / PC device with full mouse and keyboard functionality. Most recently? We’re showcasing the very latest performance capabilities of the A11 chip with Apple’s Unleash campaign.

Engine technology matters to us: we believe in building amazing gameplay, regardless of platform. Our EVIL Game Engine (in development for over 10 years now!) has allowed us to design Vainglory without compromising strategic or tactical depth, or control accuracy and graphical fidelity. The EVIL Engine was designed to hold up on any platform, evolving as mobile devices improve, as mobile / PC devices converge, and as playing with friends on different platforms becomes the norm.

Today is a huge step for our studio as we are thrilled to invite, for the first time ever, macOS and Windows players to join us in Vainglory! The EVIL engine has enabled us to create a truly cross-platform MOBA. We’re very excited about starting external testing on this, and we hope you are too.

Please note that we still have a lot of work to do–proper text input support, preference settings, UI improvements and custom key bindings, bug fixes, and control input tuning are all in progress. But we’re excited to get started. We want you to be part of this journey and would love your help in making Vainglory for Windows and macOS every bit as good as it is on mobile.

Give it a try, get your Windows and macOS gamer friends to give it a try and tell us what you think! We’ll be releasing frequent updates in the coming weeks and months. As we said before, this is still a very early alpha and we know there will be issues. But we really value your feedback, so please see use the links below to see how you can get involved!

INSTALL GUIDES

These are not yet signed builds, so you may have to alter the security settings on your PC / Mac to allow for installation – one of the many things we’re fixing!

IMPORTANT:

To move your hero, right click. We suggest using an external mouse.

We suggest using an external mouse. Make Vainglory full screen by using the menu option on macOS (not the green button!) NOTE: Text input on macOS doesn’t work when in full screen (we’re working on a fix!)
