“I don’t think that Valorant will be as popular as League of Legends”: Valorant Success Beyond Player Count, Says Riot Games Studio Head

Riot Games once again showcases its exceptional talent for creating popular, accessible games that engage a large community. This is the case with Valorant, released just four years ago, which enjoys huge popularity, similar to what League of Legends, developed by the same studio, once had. 

This first-person shooter game is a direct competitor to the popular Counter-Strike, developed by Valve. In an interview, the team behind this game spoke in depth about its success and compared it to the other most popular title from Riot.

The Riot Games Team Talks About the Success of Valorant

After many years of continuous and absolute success with League of Legends, Riot Games was very satisfied with having this game as its only title. This changed when the studio decided to be more ambitious and began to announce several projects in development.

One of these games was Valorant, which was released on June 2, 2020, and today is another of the studio’s most successful titles.

This first-person shooter game features characters with special abilities in a gameplay style very similar to that of Counter-Strike. In an interview, the game’s executive producer talked about its success and compared it to the studio’s other flagship title.

She commented that, although they are not on the same level, the development team’s work was really impressive, and it was looking for the perfect FPS experience.

League of Legends Remains at the Absolute Top

The executive producer of this title, Anna Donlon, talked about how this game achieved immense popularity and compared it to League of Legends. Donlon commented, “Since we prioritize workmanship, we won’t even launch until it has a certain level of quality. Also, Riot’s measure of success isn’t the number of users.”

Clearly, the development of this game aimed for the highest possible quality, and it seems the studio achieved that.

Donlon was quite humble regarding Valorant’s success and commented, “Even if there aren’t that many users, it’s enough for us if we can give the best experience to the core users that enjoy our game and be loved for it. I don’t think that Valorant will be as popular as LoL, but I hope many FPS gamers like it.”

The team behind the game only wants the fans to enjoy the best FPS experience possible.

Few games are as accessible as those developed by this studio. You can play League of Legends and Valorant on almost any type of PC or platform. This is one of the company’s outstanding strengths, always ensuring that all kinds of players can access these titles.

Additionally, both games boast an impressive esports circuit, something that virtually not many others can match. This company has also designed these games to be compatible with mobile devices.
