The embargo lifted yesterday on Riot Games’ shooter Valorant, and we have some new gameplay for you today. This video from Arekkz features a full match on the Haven map with the character Phoenix. Phoenix is one of eight confirmed characters and uses the fire-ability flashbang. His defensive ability is a wall of fire that causes damage to enemies and it can be used to cut off a line of sight. Those are just two of the character’s abilities, as more are on show in the video below. For a more complete rundown of Phoenix’s abilities, and those of the other characters, give this video a watch and hit up our Valorant hub for a look at the announced characters. Riot’s 5v5 character-based tactical shooter will be free-to-play and will feature Battle Pass and paid-for cosmetics, but no loot boxes. The closed beta kicks off next week, and the game is expected to be released sometime this summer.
