Valorant is the FPS that hype. On social networks and according to the first tests, many people compare it to CS:GO but also to Overwatch, TeamFortress 2 or Rainbow 6. With such comparisons, Riot Games' new game already has the image of the one who is going to compete with the greatest. With the first release of NDA on March 2, 2020 — and in addition to an approximate release date — we learn a lot of new information about the game. It's also an opportunity to read with assiduity the various tests that took place to get a more detailed idea of the gameplay of Valorant.
The exact release date for Valorant (formerly known as Project A) is still uncertain, but we do know that Riot Games' brand-new FPS will be released this summer on PC. Like League of Legends, Valorant will be free-to-play and will base its economy on skins.
