Riot Games has officially released its free-to-play first-person shooter game Valorant in India and other Asia-Pacific and Oceania regions. The game is only available on PC. But there are already millions of people trying it and playing it. The Windows PC game has also gone live in Europe, Turkey, MENA, Russia, and CIS countries.

The Closed Beta phase came to an end just three days before the game’s complete release. With exciting announcements happening while servers were offline. It includes a brand new character to be playable in the latest version of the title.

The game developer has also added a new Agent called Reyna and a mode titled Spike Rush. Valorant is a “5v5 tac-shooter matchup” that requires players to choose an Agent armed with adaptive, swift, and lethal abilities. That will create opportunities to let the gunplay shine.

The changes introduced in the game from its beta version. It includes the introduction of the game’s newest character Called Reyna, a new map called Ascent and a new game mode called Spike Rush. Valorant has included several quality-of-life updates as well.

Ascent is a map set in a Venice-like city with certain areas of the map that can be open and closed during rounds. The new mode, Spike Rush will give players a faster and more casual mode that does not take an hour per match.

The character of Reyna is “a kill or be killed kind of Agent.” The character design lead Ryan “Morello” Scott as saying that Reyna is an offensive powerhouse who excels in danger and can grow more powerful as she increases her body count. According to Scott, she is useless if she does not get to fight and gain strength.

Competitive Mode

The competitive mode will not be available at the game’s launch. Riot Games has stated that “Similar to our closed beta launch, our initial focus is making sure our service is stable before activating competitive matchmaking. This is also a way to give new players the same courtesy that closed beta players had to learn the game ahead of turning on Competitive”. The developers will also be making adjustments to the mode, based on player feedback during the beta testing phase.

Riot Games has not specified when the Competitive mode will be back online. But they have stated that “Our plan is to turn on Competitive a few patches into our launch.”
