The game development began in 2014 under the ‘Project A’ label. To create the game, Riot has utilized the talents of a few extremely skilled veterans in the game development industry: Joe Ziegler, the game producer, accountable for the project’s general concept, David Nottingham, the creative chief for Valorant, as well as Salvatore Garozzo, who had been a cybersport player and a map creator for CS: GO in the past. He partnered with Trevor Romleski in game design. Moby Francke, the former art and character creator for Valve, took the post of art director.

While creating the game, the studio concentrated on making a first-person tactical shooter to compete with CS: GO. Riot aimed to attract the largest possible audience and create an active community. To do that, the company has chosen the model of distributing the game free while adding micro-transactions. To code the game, Riot chose Unreal Engine 4, recognized for its relative ease of use and wide range of options.

Many features of the game were inspired by the aforementioned Counter-Strike. These include the game modes and weapons. Other ones may refer to Blizzard’s Overwatch, such as heroes, their abilities, and futuristic setting.

Valorant came out on March 2nd, 2020, a day after its announcement. It got above-average reviews from the world’s game magazines, scoring websites, and ordinary users and has quickly attracted high online.
