Valorant is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Riot Games. It was officially released on June 2, 2020. The game is set in a near-future Earth and features agents from all around the world. Each agent has unique abilities that they can use in addition to their gunplay skills.
Valorant is a team-based game, with two teams of five players each. The teams take turns playing as attackers and defenders in a series of rounds. The attackers have a bomb, called the Spike, that they need to plant on a site. The defenders’ job is to stop them or defuse the Spike if it gets planted.
The game has a heavy emphasis on strategy and communication, with players needing to coordinate their abilities and movements to outsmart and outshoot the other team. It’s also important to manage your resources, as you have to buy weapons and equipment at the start of each round.
Valorant has been praised for its deep and satisfying gameplay, as well as its strong anti-cheat measures. It has quickly gained a following, with a vibrant competitive scene.
Riot Games is known for regularly updating the game, adding new agents, maps, and game modes, as well as balancing existing elements to keep the game fair and fresh.
