We haven't heard much about a mobile version of Teamfight Tactics, the League of Legends spin-off autobattler, since it was announced last year. But Riot Games has announced that, lo and behold, a mobile version will launch on March 19 for both iOS and Android devices.

The good news is that the mobile version will be cross-playable with the PC version (in most regions), and account progress will be carried over, so any cosmetics purchased on the PC version will be available on the mobile version.

Teamfight Tactics mobile is free to play and will be available on Google Play and the Apple App Store on March 19.
