Riot Games Announces Six Yearly Agents for Valorant!

Riot Games continues to give the community more things to discuss with regards to VALORANT and its exciting future as a competitive title. An important aspect of a competitive title, without a doubt, is about keeping it fresh. That's why we're excited to cover Riot Games' announcement that they'll be planning to release 6 VALORANT agents every year! 

This comes straight from the mouth of Anna Donlon, an Executive Producer behind the new title. Below find the 'Dev Diary', which we can then discuss: 

The following is a list of exactly every promise confirmed in the above video: 

• Expect mutliple quality-of-life improvements in the next few months, together with UI, bugfixes and balance changes 
• Protection of streamers 
• 'Episodes' run for roughly six months and consisting of three 'Acts' where each of which lasts for two months 
• A new agent will be released for each Act, meaning that six agents a year should be released 

• Players will begin to understand the underlying story through the Acts
• Each Act will also offer its own Battlepass, with skins and cosmetics 
• Big changes are likely to occur at the start points of Episodes - new maps and features 
• A promise to strengthen anti-cheat and to target in-game discrimination 

None of these are concrete facts for now - the developers are still heavily reliant on user feedback in this early stage of the game and are open to suggestions. 

All-in-all, it's all looking incredibly promising in general. The community is ecstatic and completely on board as evident in the comments section of the YouTube video. Riot Games are doing their utmost to lay down the foundation so that the community may grow and of course, a competitive environment may do so too. 

The future of VALORANT continues to aim high and promise a lot - let's hope that these promises are kept and that everything goes smoothly! It's already quite impressive to see how much they've worked on from their own homes.
