Riot Games announced at the Summer Game Fest that VALORANT will be fully launching on June 2.

The date was always going to be the plan “before the world changed”, according to executive producer Anna Donlon. “It all kind of came down to how closed beta was going to go, what we were gonna learn through that period of time.”

A new agent and a new map will also be released on Day 1 of launch, alongside other content such as a new gamemode. “One of the things we were trying to get key on was having a shorter mode that you can play in-between more high stress and longer competitive matches”, said game director Joe Ziegler.

VALORANT was initially announced as Project A in October 2019. The closed beta began on April 7.
