One viewer in the chat said that modern shooters only have a lifespan of about six months, but the streamer reacted with astonishment:
Which FPS only lasts for 6 months? Counter-Strike has been played for almost two decades. Valorant will surely run well for another 10 years! Call of Duty is the biggest FPS in the world! Year after year after year! Then Halo, Overwatch... I don't understand your argument.
Neither do we, to be honest. After all, the Valorant Beta and Call of Duty: Warzone are shunting from one record to the next. If Riot Games doesn't completely screw up the final Valorant release, shroud might be right.
So: Does Valorant have what it takes to continue to dominate the esports market for the next few years? Or will the shooter quickly disappear into oblivion? A third option would be what we're seeing lately with the Overwatch league. More news and articles from the world of gaming and esports can be found on EarlyGame.
