Riot's Next Game, Valorant, Is A Tactial Shooter

Riot, the creator of League of Legends, will be releasing a new 5v5 tactical shooter game titled Valorant. Gunplay is a big part of it, and your technical abilities to shoot precisely will matter a lot. The twist though, is that each character, called "Agents," will also have special powers and abilities, so winning will depend on a combination of precise shooting, a creative usage of powers, and of course, teamwork.

Riot's aiming for a summer release according to the tweet above. It'll also only be available on PC and will be free-to-play.

Like many people have commented, the game's vibes are a combination of Overwatch and Counter-Strike. It remains to be seen if the full gameplay turns out that way. You can check out the game's developers playing an internal version below.
