According to Kingdom Laboratories, a leaker of Valorant, Riot is planning to release the Valorant film by 2025 after “Arcane” becomes a major success. The film was scheduled for release in the same year as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although, the MCU movie is now delayed until 2026.
After the debut of the Arcane series, Valorant fans didn’t hold back from asking for a movie. If you fall into that category, there’s good news for you: There is a high possibility for the leak to become a reality. Only one leak for the upcoming Valorant movie was enough to keep players worldwide interested.
What You May Expect From Riot’s Upcoming Valorant Movie?
If you are a fan of Valorant, you must know that the game has lore provided to us by cinematics of episodes on its YouTube channel, Valorant. You can expect the movie to work upon the lore they have been creating since the game’s release. The world of Valorant’s lore is a near-future one in which a mysterious occurrence known as First Light resulted in sky rifts and the release of a potent material known as Radianite. Although radianite can potentially transform power and technology, it is also extremely hazardous.
Since First Light, two groups have come into existence:
Valorant Protocol: The globe is to be shielded against those who would abuse Radianite by use of The Valorant Protocol, a team of operatives with unique skills.
Shadow Protocol: The Shadow Protocol is a terrorist group that wants to use Radianite for its own evil ends.

The Valorant Protocol’s agents come from a variety of backgrounds, each with their own special talents and characteristics. Their shared desire to save the Earth from the Shadow Protocol has brought them together. Although Valorant’s lore is still being told, the game’s backstory is already extensive and intricate. Numerous mysteries need to be resolved, and new people need to be introduced. The future development of the narrative will be fascinating to watch.
