Help Write Articles about our World

Welcome to Citizendium, a wiki for providing free knowledge where authors use their real names. We write the kinds of encyclopedia-style articles that Wikipedia and other sites can't write. We regard information as a public good and welcome anyone who wants to share their knowledge on virtually any subject. Our online community prides itself on being congenial and supportive.

Our goals have changed. Please read about who we are in 2022.

Featured Article: VALORANT (video game)

VALORANT (video game) is a tactical first-person shooter video game published by Riot Games on June 2nd, 2020 for computers that run Windows in which two teams of five players face each other using guns and special abilities[1]. There are several different game modes in which the number of rounds or weapons/abilities available are varied, but the premise of the game remains the same. Each character, or 'agent'[2], has different skills on the field. There are different maps for players as well.

VALORANT is a free-to-play game, with optional in-game purchases. Players can purchase agents to play, or cosmetic appearances for their weapons. Agents and cosmetics can also be unlocked through continual play. A seasonal battle pass is also created periodically that players can purchase for additional cosmetics.

The game was first teased under the code name "Project A" in October 2019[3]. A closed beta version for VALORANT was run in 2020 from April 7 to May 28[1].

Reveals for new characters and maps are often teased on various Riot Games social media accounts to prompt fans to solve a puzzle, theorize, or participate in a scavenger hunt to learn more. This allows the company to build hype around the release of new content.

VALORANT E-sports are very popular[4], with many professional, collegiate, and open leagues available for teams to sign up for. Many tournaments are broadcast online for fans to watch.
