Valorant by Riot Games – June 2nd
Riot Games presents a new competitive stage for you to shine from. A 5v5 character-based tactical shooter where creativity is your greatest weapon. In essence, Valorant is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with a smattering of Overwatch. The game is round-based, with two teams of five players going head-to-head on various maps where the only goal is for the attacking team to detonate a bomb on a designated site. Or for the defending team to prevent that from happening. It’s a whole terrorist, counter-terrorist thing. Where the Overwatch part comes in is in its abilities and character selection. There’s a variety of characters to choose from each with their own distinct personality and utility.
