Riot Games continues to push as hard as they can when it comes to the fresh new esports title of VALORANT. For an esport to survive though, there needs to be a lively community and one way of assuring this is by offering regular doses of fresh content. This is exactly what Riot Games plans to do through ‘Acts’ and ‘Episodes’.
As announced by Anna Donlon through a video, each Episode will last roughly six months where an ‘Act’ will occupy a two-month gap. Since there are two Episodes planned each year, and an agent will be released for each Act, a total of six new agents look to be introduced to VALORANT yearly!
While this promise may be an exception to this year, Riot Games are still figuring out whether six is the right number as the developers continue to ask for feedback from the community.
Such a steady rate of new content has incredible implications for competitive play, as the pool of agents will constantly grow. Should each agent be unique, it’s an opportunity for VALORANT to really stand out as an esports title.
