Recently, according to feedback from the North American gaming community, the latest shooting game produced by Riot Games: Valorant – Project A has allowed players to pre-load the game client and the Vanguard anti-cheat software. However, apart from downloading the game, players still cannot experience this product on the official servers.
Some gamers, when clicking on the game icon, received the message “unable to access game,” meaning that in reality, the servers of Valorant are still not open; only the game client has been teased by Riot.
However, it’s important to note that the game download feature only applies to regions under Riot’s publishing rights, and therefore Vietnamese gamers cannot select this feature yet. Nonetheless, this sign also indicates that Riot Games is quickly pushing towards the launch of Valorant in the near future.
It is very likely that Valorant will be launched in beta version during the summer this year. Of course, similar to the recent release of Teamfight Tactics Mobile, the upcoming beta version of Valorant is likely just the first testing phase of this game and will not have many changes compared to the images revealed in the recently released trailer.
Remember, after a period of making the gaming community explode with the announcement of a series of new titles on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of League of Legends, Riot Games began to receive negative feedback for “holding back” too long when they announced that League of Legends: Wild Rift would only be released at the end of this year, nearly a year after the project was announced in October last year.
Therefore, releasing the Valorant beta version in the near future could be a move to appease gamers, allowing the community to experience new products from Riot sequentially (from Legends of Runeterra, Teamfight Tactics Mobile, and then Valorant) to avoid negative reactions from having to wait too long, much like what the League of Legends: Wild Rift community is currently enduring.
