VALORANT, Riot Games first-person tactical shooter, revealed!

Riot Games have at last revealed their highly anticipated tactical shooter video game, VALORANT, previously only known by its codename “Project A”. The game will be launching in Summer 2020. VALORANT boasts precise skill, high stakes, lethal gameplay and clutch moments that will reward creative gameplay styles. VALORANT will see two teams of five players go head to head to win a round-based, attackers vs defenders, best-of-24-rounds gunfight.

A diverse cast of hypernatural, battle-ready agents with influences from real world cultures and locations will be available for players to pick and play from. Their unique set of abilities complement gunplay with tactical information and strategic support, changing how players approach a situation. Use your abilities to create opportunities for you to take the shot!

“Throughout VALORANT’s development, we wanted to uphold the fundamental values of a
competitive tactical shooter: precise shooting, lethal gunplay, and strategic execution.”

“By adding unique character abilities that complement
the game’s gunplay we believe we’re expanding upon the traditional tac shooter experience and
bringing something new to the genre – and we hope the launch of VALORANT will be the start of
a long-term relationship with tactical FPS fans from around the world.”
