Valorant is a tactical first-person shooter (FPS) developed and published by Riot Games, known for their success with League of Legends. Launched in June 2020, Valorant quickly carved out a niche in the competitive gaming scene, blending the precise shooting mechanics of classic FPS games with the strategic variety of character-based abilities. Set in a near-future Earth, players assume the roles of “agents” from various countries and cultures, each equipped with unique abilities that complement their gunplay. Valorant emphasizes skill, strategy, and teamwork, requiring players to collaborate and outsmart their opponents to secure victory.

Valorant is primarily played in a 5v5 format where one team attacks and the other defends. The main game mode revolves around planting a bomb (“the Spike”) or defusing it, with rounds lasting a few minutes each. Winning rounds earns points towards an overall match victory. The game stands out for its high-skill ceiling, where precision aiming, tactical ability use, and strategic planning are crucial. Agents’ abilities include creating sight-blocking walls, deploying reconnaissance tools, and unleashing powerful attacks that can turn the tide of battle. This mix of gunplay and unique powers allows for a dynamic and ever-evolving gameplay experience.

Valorant’s graphics strike a balance between realism and stylized artistic design, enabling it to run on a wide range of hardware without compromising on visual quality. The game’s aesthetic is clean and vibrant, making it easy for players to read the action and react accordingly. Its sound design is meticulously crafted, with audio cues playing a critical role in gameplay. The sounds of footsteps, gunshots, and abilities provide essential information, allowing players to make strategic decisions based on auditory clues.

What’s new
  • Added a Finisher Cam, which will trigger for deaths by guns with finishers and function the same way the Spike Cam currently does. We hope this will help combat visual clutter and related photosensitivity concerns for those sensitive to flashing lights, as well as performance issues associated with how your view would sometimes behave during finishers in the past.
  • Career page menu music has been updated to a remix of Ego by Qing Madi.
  • Adjusted the appearance of in-game voice indicators to improve clarity
  • Fixed an issue where the visual indicator for Nightfall wouldn’t disappear for spectators if Fade dies with the ability equips.
  • Fixed an issue where area names on Guided Salvo ability maps were too large and overlapping due to decreased cast range. We’ve removed area names from Tejo’s Guided Salvo and Armageddon ability maps for consistency.
  • Fixed an issue where Reyna’s Targeting visual for Leer wouldn’t properly display for spectators, allies, and observer perspectives.
  • Fixed an issue where Waylay’s targeting indicator for Convergent Paths wouldn’t display properly for spectators, allies, and observer perspectives.
  • Fixed an issue where Clove’s Pick-me-up audio wouldn’t play properly for all players.
  • Fixed an issue where Chamber’s Trademark didn’t have team coloring applied on the minimap for observers.
  • Fixed an issue where Breach’s Fault Line area of effect VFX was not matching collision volume depending on charge duration.
