Valorant: Riot Games drops 2nd teaser for upcoming agent Deadlock

Valorant has been Riot Games’ greatest success. The game is now three years old, and its player base has increased rapidly over the years. The rapid increase in the player base has beaten almost every other competitive shooter title in the gaming industry. The major takeaway of Valorant is the game’s unique tactical gameplay and playable characters called agents. Valorant’s agent roster is increasing further, with a new agent named Deadlock.

Riot Games’ largest success is League of Legends, and the company dipped its hand into the competitive shooter genre in 2020. And sure enough, it was a success for the company. Riot Games is based on Valorant’s unique characteristics in League of Legends. They took inspiration from the LOL’s huge pool of playable characters and molded Valorant’s agents’ concept based on that. However, most of the game’s agents are unique and fun to play. Also, Riot Games constantly adds new agents to their games following every new season.

During the latest Dev Diaries at Riot Games, the devs teased many upcoming new things coming to Valorant. Moreover, all these new contents would make their way to the game at the start of Episode 7. These new additions include a brand new Team Deathmatch game mode, a new currency system, previous battle pass items, and, especially, a new agent. These upcoming changes have hyped the player base up.

In a recent tweet from Valorant, the company has teased the player base even further. They have released another teaser for the upcoming agent.
