Whether watching the latest youtube videos from VALORANT Hub channel (the theories about the samurai outfit are delicious), covertly ‘observing’ lore theories on various discords (shoutout to we see you!) or enjoying all the beautiful fun character art on social media. We experienced your insane level of appreciation, passion and creative engagement with our world, like creating your own lore artifacts to unpack all the hidden mysteries of our universe!
We don’t have to tell you what an insane year 2020 has been, likely it’s been pretty unusual for you too! Launching a new game IP, while we all had to work from home, was intense.īut it was incredibly rewarding.
Music! - Working with talented music folk on our theme music, the dynamic in game music, and those fun Agent playlists that we put on Spotify! :). Map environments (why IS that ancient Japanese ship on Icebox?). Battlepass content - (those teaser cards that hint at new maps, Agents or lore backstory, including some hidden answers to the above). Character backstories - Who are these Agents and what is VALORANT Protocol? What are we fighting for (and who are we fighting against? Who is Omen really? What school did Phoenix get suspended from?). In 2020 we worked on areas as diverse as: Feed curiosity, passion and theorycrafting amongst YOU, our community, around the world lore, its conflict, backstories and narrative journey ahead. Inform cinematics, in game VFX and Audio, props and environments. Inspire the design of Agents, menus, maps and music. One way we do this, is to drive a lot of the details that you see in our world. It’s our goal to make sure that all the various pieces of the game feel part of a distinct, cohesive creative universe. Well essentially, we are a broad collective of people that spans audio, narrative and art, that specifically works with ALL the various teams that create the beautiful VALORANT content we’ve released to you in 2020.
