Riot Games validated Valorant fans who have long-held suspicions about the game. Killjoy Raze have become the first lesbians to appear in the first-person shooter in the genre, according to the devs.
Riot Games posted an Instagram image on their account showing the couple being cozy on benches. The followers can see the post by clicking this link.
KillJoy and Raze’s intriguing games have prompted many fans of shooting competitions to speculate on the possibilities of romantic relations in the relationship between these two athletes.
Killjoy, Phoenix, Yoru, Neon, and Raze’s adventures have been documented on the official Twitter account of VALORANT.
Images from the group’s excursion to Salvador show them interacting with the locals, having fun, and engaging in other activities.
Until today, when the VALORANT account shared yet another image, it was unclear what these photographs were for. Not like the other posts, this one just showed Raze and Killjoy kissing in the middle of the party they had previously been seen at.
Voice lines between Raze and Killjoy are sometimes misunderstood by gamers as flirting, even though they were clearly meant to be humorous. It’s safe to assume that Riot has been planning today’s reveal for some time.
Raze and Killjoy is the first LGBTQ+ agents in VALORANT, and the image represents the first confirmed agent-on-agent relationship in the series. In the past, numerous League of Legends heroes have been outed as being in LGBTQ+ partnerships, thus Riot is no new to displaying that kind of love in their titles.
The narratives and lore of these characters are evolving as VALORANT does, so it’s unclear if these promotional images were a great buildup to a much-awaited romance or a teaser for something else.
Valorant’s voice lines suggested Raze and Killjoy were more than buddies before today’s reveal. Killjoy would call Raze “freundin” (German for “girlfriend”), unwillingly admire her tech, and even wish her “be safe” before the battle. Raze is a blunter when she says, Killjoy! “After this, you wanna do some tinkering?”
It indeed made it quite obvious from the very start when Killjoy was added to the Agent roster in August of 2020.
