Riot unveils Jet, Valorant's knife-wielding speedster

Valorant's weekly series of character teasers continues today with Jett, a fast-moving fighter who uses his speed and agility to slip past enemies and take them down with precise attacks before they have time to react.

Jett's gameplay teaser showcases three of his four special abilities. Daggers can be thrown alone or at close range, and all daggers heal after a kill.

(Blade Storm reminds me of Bonestorm, which is a fun bonus.)

Valorant, Riot's 5vs5 competitive FPS, will begin closed beta testing next week. To participate in the test, you will need more than just an email address; you will need a Riot account linked to a Twitch account, and once that is done, you will need to watch Valorant's stream on Twitch once the beta begins to participate. Riot probably sees this as a way to make sure that everyone who joins the beta is genuinely interested in the game.

We attended a hands-on with Valorant in March. We also have an overview of all the characters released so far, as well as an interview with Valorant's netcode person for the benefit of tech fans Valorant is scheduled to launch this summer.
