VALORANT adds new features requested by the community

This year, Riot Games plans to add many new features to its popular tactical shooter VALORANT. Replays are one of many requests from the community, and the development team plans to incorporate them into the game shortly.

In a recent episode of “Dev Diaries,” Riot Games previewed some features for 2023, including a new Team Deathmatch mode.

On the other hand, Riot’s executive producer and head of the development team, Anna Donlon, recently noted in a tweet that those are not the only potential projects currently in the works.

VALORANT adds a lot of useful features to the game

According to Anna Donlon, also known as Riot Supercakes, the development team is working on more material for the game than mentioned in the most recent video. However, she did not comment on any release date.

On the other hand, she confirmed that new servers, game mode updates, and a replay system are being developed.

Replay system

Since the release of VALORANT, the community has been clamoring for a replay feature. From the looks of it, the system has been in development for a long time but, for some reason, has not yet been included in the fps game.

Thanks to this system, players can watch a video replay of the gunfights they have participated in after the game. An internal replay system will avoid resorting to a third-party recording tool and allow players to review their mistakes and improve their skills.

New server locations

VALORANT will host more server sites in the future, as Donlon said. A configuration close to the player’s location guarantees a lower network ping, giving him a competitive advantage.

At the moment, there are 25 servers spread across six continents:

• North America
• Latin America
• Europe
• Brazil
• Asia-Pacific
• Korea

Game mode updates

VALORANT currently offers six different game modes:

• Swiftplay
• Competitive
• Escalation
• Deathmatch
• Spike Rush
• Unranked

It also includes a Custom mode that users can use to design and play unique matches.

According to Anna Donlon’s post, the development team is working on changes for several of these modes. In addition, users can expect changes to Deathmatch, which contains disruptive spawn points that the community has actively protested.

It seems that Riot Games is taking community feedback very seriously in 2023. Players will notice many tweaks to VALORANT’s functionality and entirely new features in the coming days.

On January 27, 2023, the team will hold a Lotus AMA on Reddit, where fans can voice their opinions and ask questions about the new map.
