Valorant, the new game in development at Riot Games, has been finally revealed today after a series of leaks. The game, a free-to-play 5v5 competitive character-based tactical first-person shooter, is targeting a release on PC at some point this Summer.
Matches are said to be round-based (best of 24), with teams split into attackers and defenders. Riot claims to have invested heavily in the back-end for Valorant, featuring 128-tick servers, excellent netcode and low latency thanks to a 'global spread of datacenters'. From a game design point of view, the League of Legends developer believes the powers of the characters will allow players to come up with interesting moves to outsmart the opponents.
