With the absence of E3, the month ahead feels strangely empty even though it really isn’t. There’s the biggest name on the block, The Last of Us Part II and the likes of Valorant, Ninjala and the first expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield.

The days of sitting with Twitch muted in a different window, hoping for a lucky beta key drop, will finally come to an end soon.

Riot really doesn’t want any cheaters in its shooter so if you want to turn it off you’ll have to jump through some hoops to get it done.

Ever since Valorant first launched, the Agent has earned herself a reputation for being more than a little bit stronger than the rest of the game’s characters.

The imagery of shooting someone in the face with an assault rifle is totally okay as long as there’s no blood, right?

Valorant’s current closed beta audience is not happy with what they call a heavy-handed approach to keeping cheaters off of the game servers, especially with the software having administrator-level access on any machine it's installed on.

The 2020s are going to usher in a new era for Riot, as they’ve got not just one but multiple new games in development. One of those games happens to be Valorant, a fusion of Overwatch and Counter-Strike that looks poised to be the hottest new shoot ‘em up experience on the block. Especially if the recent Twitch viewership figures are to be believed.

Riot’s new competitive hero shooter is looking for feedback from dedicated fans who want to play something other than League of Legends and Counter Strike.
