VALORANT

VALORANT is a free-to-play tactical first-person shooter (FPS) video game developed and published by Riot Games. It was released in June 2020 and combines elements of traditional FPS gameplay with unique character abilities, similar to those found in hero-based games. In VALORANT, players take on the roles of “agents,” each with specific skills that influence gameplay strategies. The primary game mode involves attacking and defending bomb sites, where one team tries to plant a bomb (called the spike) while the other team attempts to prevent this.

The game emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and precise shooting mechanics, with matches typically played in a 5v5 format. VALORANT gained popularity for its competitive nature, distinct gameplay elements, and regular updates that introduce new content, characters, and game modes. Its combination of tactical gunplay and character abilities has distinguished it within the FPS genre.
