valorant alpha gameplay screen bannerThe time for speculations and rumors is over because Riot Games has officially announced their new and upcoming competitive shooter – Valorant. The studio has also released official Alpha gameplay footage from the game which you'll find all the way down below.

“Imagine this: tactical shooter meets hypernatural powers. Everyone’s got guns and a unique set of abilities, so how do you beat someone with the speed of wind? Use your own moves to outplay them and beat them to the shot. VALORANT is a game for bold strategists who dare to make the unexpected play, because if it wins, it works.

Shooting in VALORANT is precise, consequential, and highly-lethal - we want you to win on your skill and strategy alone.”

Initially known as Project A, the game got a lot of hype these past few weeks when a popular Counter Strike: Global Offensive commentator and former professional player published early gameplay footage of the new shooter. The game’s official working title also doesn’t come as a surprise thanks to leakers who managed to uncover the official site and dormant Twitter page just a few days ago.

According to the official site, which is now live, Valorant promises “128-tick servers, at least 30 frames per second on most min-spec computers (even dating back a decade), 60 to 144 FPS on modern gaming rigs, a global spread of datacenters aimed at <35ms for players in major cities around the world, a netcode we’ve been obsessing over for years, and a commitment to anti-cheat from day one.”

Here's the official gameplay video. Enjoy!
