Riot Games has announced today a new Valorant spin-off dating game called ‘Valorant: Agents of Romance’. The game is expected to let players interact with the Valorant agents more intimately in what seems to be inspired by the success of League of Legends’ ‘Spirit Blossom’ event.
Agents of Romance is set to be the first dating sim by Riot Games. In this upcoming spin-off expansion on the Valorant universe, the player will be playing as a new recruit who’s training to become a Valorant agent.
During their time working towards being a Valorant agent, players will be able to form relationships with the other agents by performing various activities like collecting items, going on dates, or even saving the world.
“We’ve been looking into ways to expand and explore the Valorant universe, even prior to launch, and when we landed on a dating sim, it just made sense,” said Anna Donlon, Executive Producer of Valorant. “We believe that everyone can relate to and enjoy the Agents of Valorant, whether they are tac-shooter players or dating sim players.”
“Our Agents are living, breathing individuals that are as expressive as our players,” says Joe Killeen, Narrative Writer. “Agents of Romance allows us to put those inner emotions and human connections front and center, and we can explore who these individuals are when the uniform is off and the guns are stored away.”
Valorant: Agents of Romance is scheduled for a PC launch in 2021. However, since it was announced on April Fools’ day, don’t be surprised if it ends up being just a prank.
