Valorant to add several much-requested features: Replay system, new server locations, and more

Riot Games is set to add plenty of new functionalities to its popular tactical shooter, Valorant, this year. The development team is planning to address many long-standing community requests, including replays, and add such features to the game soon.Riot Games recently uploaded a 'Dev Diaries' episode that hints at a few upcoming features, including a new Team Deathmatch mode, in 2023. However, those aren't the only prospects that the team is working on, as Riot's Executive Producer and Development Team Lead, Anna Donlon, mentioned in her recent tweet.Valorant will welcome a bunch of useful in-game features in the near futureAnna Donlon@RiotSuperCakesHi!

However, she didn't mention any release dates.Anna Donlon@RiotSuperCakesWe typically don’t talk about those things until we can make firmer commitments around dates or share actual details… mainly out of concern we might hype things up sooner than we should, over-promise, etc. But really, we should chat more. 2/34915We typically don’t talk about those things until we can make firmer commitments around dates or share actual details… mainly out of concern we might hype things up sooner than we should, over-promise, etc. But really, we should chat more. 2/3Meanwhile, she confirmed that a replay system, new servers, and game mode updates are in development.Anna Donlon@RiotSuperCakesTo start, come by for the Lotus Reddit AMA this Friday, a look at our Agents from the team in Feb, hear from esports at VCT Brazil in March, and then more details about our new mode and other features throughout the year. 4756To start, come by for the Lotus Reddit AMA this Friday, a look at our Agents from the team in Feb, hear from esports at VCT Brazil in March, and then more details about our new mode and other features throughout the year. ❤️Replay systemMike | Valorant Leaks &amp; News@ValorLeaksReplays are coming to VALORANT.

The system has reportedly been in development for the longest time, but for some unknown reason, has failed to appear in the FPS title yet.Mike | Valorant Leaks &amp; News@ValorLeaksNot really sure why this is coming up now. This isn’t really new but, there is a lot of tech that is required. It’s been in dev for so long, that I can’t really remember when I first saw it. The reason there is no date is because they don’t want another gifting system situation.7695Not really sure why this is coming up now. This isn’t really new but, there is a lot of tech that is required. It’s been in dev for so long, that I can’t really remember when I first saw it. The reason there is no date is because they don’t want another gifting system situation.Such a system will allow players to view a replay video of the gunfights they face in a match after it ends. An in-house replay system will not only eliminate the need for a third-party recording app, but will also let players analyze their mistakes and work upon their skills.New server locationsAs Donlon mentioned, Valorant will host more server locations in the future. Having a setup close to a player's location ensures a lower network ping, which delivers a higher advantage in the game.Presently, there are 25 server locations spread across six regions: North America, LATAM, Europe, Brazil, Asia-Pacific, and Korea.Game mode updatesMike | Valorant Leaks &amp; News@ValorLeaksToday VALORANT officially confirmed a Team Deathmatch Mode. | #VALORANTIt is an Ability-enabled team deathmatch game mode.
