Devs at Riot Games have called the next upcoming game mode as HURM, a team deathmatch. Team Deathmatch is vastly different from the standard existing free-for-all deathmatch in the game. Consider every other player on the map, apart from yourself, as an enemy in the usual free-for-all matches. However, Team Deathmatch, as the name suggests, would place players in teams where they’ll fight out another team while utilizing their own teamwork.

Devs have promised players that the new Team Deathmatch game mode would land as soon as Episode 7 of Valorant kicks off. Loads of new and exciting features would fill this new game mode. The community has been eagerly awaiting this game mode, and we are about to fulfill their wishes.

The upcoming game mode would be called HURM and would be a team deathmatch mode. Moreover, this is the first time Valorant would get this game mode. Not only would it be good for warming up before ranked plays, but also would act as a testing ground for new unlocked Agents. How? Well, unlike the classic free-for-all existing deathmatch mode in-game, HURM would feature a match with tactical gun gameplay— with the inclusion of abilities.

Furthermore, this new game mode would have maps specially tailored for this match format. Devs, in their recent Valorant Dev Diaries, have revealed the release date for this mode. Riot Games will release this mode on June 27, 2023, with the commencement of Episode 7. This game mode would also have ‘custom maps.’ This would feature maps specifically made for this game mode. This would give players a break from the regular maps featured in Ranked/Unrated plays.

Players’ reactions to this news have been cheerful, with some celebrating the upcoming HURM game mode while some are asking for the long-awaited ‘Replay’ feature and some being happy with the ‘custom maps’ feature:

Players have been anticipating this new upcoming game mode for quite some time now. And it’s going to be here soon. Furthermore, players are happy that developers are actually putting in loads of hours to make this game better. As for now, we can’t say for certain how the game mode would actually turn out to be, but from the information revealed, it sounds really innovative and exciting to play.
