Valorant Lore has certainly stuck in the minds of some players and most of us have realized by this point that it's not just a game. Of course you've played Valorant for hours which shows on your contraction wall. But have you noticed sparse innuendo during your Range workouts and explored ghost mode when bored? We'd be lying if we said it wasn't obvious at some point that Valorant is more than just a video game.
With all the background stories from player maps to innovative trailers it had crossed our minds at one point or another, had Valorant been planning all of this for ages, and now it's telling a story? Well, you would be right. The article talks about Valorant Lore and how it could be further unveiled in the next act, as revealed by David Nottingham.

Not so long ago, Valorant teased its first video on its lore, called Duality. Valorant Duality is a video that was broadcast live yesterday during the biting final of the VCT and surprised the public. The teaser begins with news breaking out around the world of Italy facing disaster, and a wanted poster of Jett with Phoenix. Apparently, it all started with the elevation of part of Italy, giving us the "Ascent" map, as we had already seen in the map trailer.
Radianite, the infamous substance produced by the Kingdom Company as power generation has a role to play in the disaster, but Kingdom doesn't appear to be involved. As revealed by Riot Games' creative director for VALORANT , David Nottingham, we may see more of that in the next act of the game. Valorant still has a month to move on to the next act and thus gives us a glimpse of its lore.
Radianite is closely tied to Valorant lore and the abilities of certain Agents. Even though its origin and characteristics are shrouded in mystery, it is known to give special abilities to those who come in contact with it. Kingdom Corporation is a recent addition to the Valorant lore. Although not much is known about them, it is known that their goal is to collect and use radianite for evil purposes. The Valorant protocol was created to specifically combat this.
Valorant's story begins with an event called "First Light". Details about the event are scarce. The only known fact is that First Light was the first reported discovery of the rare element Radianite, which changed the entire world and its future. We hope to hear more information from RIOT as we look forward to the next act.
