Riot Games Revealed Valorant Details
The game will be available this Summer.
Riot Games revealed their tactical shooter VALORANT will be available in Summer 2020. The game is focused on precise skill, high stakes, lethal gameplay, and clutch moments that reward creative gameplay styles. Two teams of five players battle each other to win a round-based, attackers vs defenders, best-of-24-rounds gunfight.
The game allows players to choose from a diverse cast of hypernatural, battle-ready agents from real-world cultures and locations.
“Throughout VALORANT’s development, we wanted to uphold the fundamental values of a competitive tactical shooter: precise shooting, lethal gunplay, and strategic execution,” said the game’s Executive Producer, Anna Donlon. “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.”
The team promises dedicated 128-tick servers for all global players, for free, plus a custom-built netcode in pursuit of precise hit registration. What is more, the game will feature server authoritative game architecture and proprietary anti-cheat prevention and detection from day one.
