Welcome to Valorant—a competitive, character-based tactical shooter developed by Riot Games that redefines what it means to test your skill, strategy, and precision. Officially released in June 2020, Valorant blends the intensity of classic first-person shooters with the creativity and variety of unique agent abilities, offering a fresh and exciting take on the genre.

Set in a near-future Earth, the game features a diverse roster of agents drawn from real-world cultures and backgrounds. Each agent comes with a distinct personality, voice, and set of abilities that can dramatically change how each round plays out. From smokescreens and recon darts to teleportation and area denial, agents bring a wide array of tactical tools to the table. This makes Valorant a game not just about aim and reflexes, but also about strategy, coordination, and adaptation.

At the heart of Valorant is a 5v5 game mode where teams alternate between attacking and defending, with the primary goal of planting or defusing a spike (bomb). Each match is a race to 13 rounds, and every decision—whether it’s your loadout, your agent pick, or how you use your abilities—can be the difference between victory and defeat.

But Valorant is more than just gameplay. It’s a community. Millions of players across the globe log in daily not just to play, but to connect, compete, and create. Whether you’re climbing the competitive ranks, exploring the lore of your favorite agent, or watching top-tier teams battle it out in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), there’s always something happening in the world of Valorant.

Riot Games is committed to maintaining a high standard of competitive integrity. The game features cutting-edge anti-cheat systems, constant balance updates, and active community support. New content—such as agents, maps, game modes, and cosmetics—is released regularly, ensuring the game stays fresh and engaging for both newcomers and veterans.

Valorant also has a strong presence in the esports scene. With a global competitive circuit, teams from around the world face off in official tournaments for prestige, prize money, and a chance to make history. Whether you’re an aspiring pro or just a fan of top-tier play, Valorant esports delivers fast-paced, high-stakes action.

Our vision is simple: to build a game that challenges players to improve, to work as a team, and to think creatively. We believe in offering a platform where skill is earned, and every round is a new opportunity to shine.

Whether you’re here for the clutch plays, the story behind your favorite agent, or just some casual fun with friends—Valorant welcomes you. Pick your agent, sharpen your aim, and let the games begin.
