This new Valorant game is all I ever wanted, but if it isn’t portable, Riot can keep it
Riot Games often releases fantastic cinematics for their games, expanding on the lore of Valorant in an action-packed yet emotional way. These cinematics make me want to explore the world even more, as it slowly uncovers the relationships between agents, their origin stories, and what’s happening to them now. Luckily, it seems like my prayers are being answered in the form of Project T, a leaked MMOFPS game set in the Valorant universe.
While the initial leak occurred two years ago, recent job listings indicate that the game is showing new signs of life. First spotted by the Game Post, Project T’s job listing seeks an Associate Art Director in 3D Character Art for an “unpublished R&D product”. It then states that familiarity with the Valorant IP is a required attribute for the role. With that in mind, it appears that Project T is a Valorant spinoff of some kind. The hype is real.
Previous job listings for developmental processes like designing for metasystems and progressions gave us our first inkling of Project T, but it seems that the game is further ahead in development than anticipated. This is supported by a rumored closed playtest: participants claim Riot Games is putting together an extraction shooter. For the unfamiliar, this is a format where you must go in, collect resources or valuable items, and get out. If it’s true, it joins a highly competitive market with stalwarts such as Escape From Tarkov and newcomers like ARC Raiders leading the way forward.
