Riot Games is working on a new first-person shooter (FPS) game that will apparently be set in the Valorant universe. This claim arises from a deleted job posting that sought candidates with experience in FPS development and familiarity with the popular tactical shooter released in 2020. Although the company has removed these references, interest in the project continues to grow.
It would be another FPS
Since 2023, several job offers have hinted at the development of a new first-person shooter, sometimes modified or removed to suppress mentions of the current project. However, the consistency of this information suggests a strategic move by Riot to expand its catalog. Alongside the MMO based on League of Legends, the company seems to be looking to diversify its investment and take advantage of the accumulated success of Valorant as one of the main alternatives to Counter-Strike.
Recently, Riot’s official recruitment page shared a vacancy for its headquarters in Los Angeles that quickly went viral, thanks to its mention of the need for experience in character creation for FPS, as well as familiarity with the Valorant universe. Despite the quick removal of these details, it is argued that this move is not isolated and has been part of a continued pattern in the company’s efforts to keep its new developments under wraps.
Valorant, the tactical shooter, has achieved remarkable acceptance in the market since its launch, allowing Riot Games to diversify its projects and resources. It is speculated that this new title could include MMO elements, which would reaffirm the company’s intention to remain relevant in a constantly evolving landscape within the video game industry. Therefore, the gaming community eagerly awaits more details about this new project in development.
