Valorant Deathmatch: Game Mode Rumored for Release
Valorant Deathmatch has been a talking point among the game's fans since the closed beta started. After the addition of Ranked mode a few weeks ago, fans may have more game modes to look forward to when the full game is released.
Right now, developers at Riot Games are focused on cultivating a true esports culture around Valorant. They have been successful so far for what it's worth, with lots of top professionals, including former Overwatch League MVP Jay "sinatraa" Won, leaving other games for Valorant.
Once the full game is released, though, developers at Riot will be thinking about not only the pros, but the regular players as well. These players should be excited, as two leaks have pointed towards a Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch mode eventually coming to Valorant.
