Tencent Is Gunning for Activision Blizzard's "Overwatch" With This New Shooter
Tencent's (OTC: TCEHY) Riot Games officially unveiled a new first-person shooter on Monday that could challenge the industry's top shooters, including Activision Blizzard's (NASDAQ: ATVI) Overwatch and Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Seige. Riot Games' Valorant is scheduled to be released this summer.
Valorant borrows elements from two of the top esports titles in the industry. The game blends together the tactical precision gameplay of Valve's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with the cartoonish, hero-based gameplay of Overwatch. Like both of those games, Valorant is a team-based shooter where each team battles to win certain objectives in the game.
