The lore may not seem deep but it is, filled with theories and fantasies by fans who takes the informations out of the valorant videos + the game itself. The game has lots of lore/easter egg as well as each voice lines of agents filling in the story. It's actually dope.

[quintonh]

you mentioned sombra but actually the one with the rocket launcher Raze has her same voice actor haha

[itsstorm_szn]

Raze also has a cinematic that wasn't included in this reaction. I personally love it as a Raze main and highly recommend watching it.

[rambujam]

Similar to you, I instantly resonated with Phoenix and was immediately interested. I didn't actually pick up the game till I watched the esport which looked really fun and now I'm invested

[ChocolateKieran]

Thanks for the support and hope you enjoy guys! 😁

The 15'23" on last jett animation was her new time. She was running to see how fast she becomes after training, you could see her reflection in glass that was slower than her. It was her old time record.

Edit: also if you look closely, after she crosses the line, she clicks something on her watch, I believe it's timer (stopwatch, etc.)

[TheCarlos]

I just love your reactions especially when you really seem interested! makes me remember the day I started playing any of riot's game as well

[thegrim]

my favorite agent is Omen and his lore is so mysterious and i love it. There are speculation that Omen knew Viper while he was still human.

[VashTown]

I like how chat couldn't wait 2 minutes for him to watch the cinematic. Just had to spoil it when he's just asking questions to himself.

[bao]

Allow me to summerize the valorant lore since i can't do it fast enough on twitch chat. If you consider this spoilers, I'll delete it right away.
Around 10 years before the incident the Venice in the Duelists video, a mysterious event called the First Light occured and spanned around the Globe. Gifted individuals are chosen randomly and are called Radiants, those who can use special abilities. Radianite is the new resource of many things such as electricity and technology supported by radianites is super advanced. Kingdom, a big company that works in many branches, they do research on how to harness, to fully exploit the power of radianite. They provide 3 quarters of energy the world uses after successfully harness this new resource. They began the valorant protocol and recruit numerous agents (Radiants and non-Radiants) in this order: Brimstone, Viper and Omen are the earliest members in the group, 4.Killjoy, 5. Cypher, 6.Sova, 7.Sage, 9.Phoenix, 10.Jett, 11.Reyna, 12.Raze, 13.Breach, 14.Skye, 15.Yoru, 16.Astra, 17.Kay/O, 18.Chamber, 19.Neon. Agent number 8 is either missing or gone rogue or on an undercover mission. In the Warm Up cinematic, next to Phoenix's locker (the number 9 locker), you can see the number 8 on the locker scratched off. The VALORANT protocol has the duty to protect people from incidents related to radianite. Times later, the amount of radianite on Earth 2 decreaswd heavily and they planned on stealing radianite from Earth 1 using a device called the spike, thus the war between 2 Earths began.
Phoenix's backstory is that when he first discovered his abilities, his flames suddenly went out of control, burning his school, idk if there were any injuries but the incident got reported on the news but soon covered up by Kingdom, thus Phoenix is recruited to VALORANT.
About Chamber, rather fighting against himself from Earth 2 like the other agents, he worked with himself against Kingdom in both Earths. Together they destroyed the same research lab belongs to Kingdom from 2 Earths and cause a portal between 2 worlds and its called Fracture, a playable map in the game and also the newest. This incident led to the deaths of many scientists and heavy property damage to Kingdom but Chamber refuses being the culprit (the funny part is that he doesn't even make it convincing).
About Kay/O, he is neither from Earth 1 nor 2, he is from Earth 3 and has close connections to non-Radiant agents, especially Brim and Sova. In this Earth, X-Men stuff happens. After the Venice incident, people reacted to Radiants in a more agressive way, they began seeing Radiants as threats and dangerous individuals. Sick of this discrimination, Reyna, who is Magneto of this war, thinks that Radiants are the new era of mankind, she lead a big group of Radiants and started a war. VALORANT agents that are comrades in other world, became enemies in this world. Kingdom created Kay/O, in order to fight against Radiants. Kay/O managed to kill "the Queen" (thats how he calls Reyna) but sacrifices are inevitable, many of his comrades died. After that, since this Earth is unstable, a portal opened and he was dragged to Earth 1, reunited with his comrades and former enemies, he fights for the cause of Earth 1 and hopes to find a way to go home.
I think that is it, based on my knowledge, if u guys know more, i hope u guys would share it to me.

"his greatest weapon is his credit card" 😂😂😂 KIERAN

[nonocere]

The whole "Parallel universes" lore thing for Valorant is pretty fire, most games don't ever bother explaining why two people in different teams can pick the same character and kill each other, and I get why, it's really not needed at all, but the fact that Riot decided to explain it here and make it a key part of the story, it opens for many cool details in the maps you play in, and the different character interactions. It makes it a lot more fun

[DisSabot]

I'd say Valorant's lore is as deep as if not deeper than LoL. These cinematics are just part of the lore and much more can be found ingame with voicelines and interactive elements(though that arc has been finished)

[ethankim]

quick lore recap:
agents with supernatural powers are radiants. they came in contact with radianite at some point and got their powers. Earth is in war with itself because Earth 2 is trying to steal Earth 1's radianite. Kayo is from the future and was Brim's best friend until he died in action (as a soldier) so they made him a robo body. Reyna has a little sister that died at some point (and she blames killjoy for it) Chamber is a weapon's salesman who is the only agent to ever work peacefully with his Earth 2 double (he got rich from selling guns to both Earths so thats why he always dressed nicely). Cypher lost his family so he asking Sage to revive them. Omen was a human but something bad happen and sage res worked halfway so he kinda a zombie. Phoenix burned his college down the day he got his powers on accident ( prob got his masters degree for burning it). Jett caused a hurricane in the city she was working. Neon just fast as f. Yoru is very toxic (no joke). Viper is pyscho. Raze just wants to explode stuff and kinda vibes a lot. Sova came in contact with his Earth 2 self while on a recon mission and he apparently let his Earth 2 double live (he the only person to go through a rift).

[eggsalad]

10:16 I just now realized that Yoru has some text behind him but a bit hidden unlike other trailers which had their text in big sizes and in red, which is SUPER fitting cuz he's known to be the sneaky agent. Love the little details.

[yukoval]

Ahhhh the nostalgia rewatching these… all those memories when they just came out, the hype.. man valorant has changed so much

[seaneyyy]

in canon theres only two ships, raze and killjoy are dating (canonically) and then pheonix and jett flirt with eachother in game, brimstone has a no-dating rule but those 4 dont listen

[anonymousblank]

basically in the valorant universe theres a material called radianite a powerful material which is basically condensed energy . on an event called ignition there was an accident in a facility that manages radianite distribution . the facility, (kingdom) had alot of leaking ionized radianite which ended up not only creating radiants aka people with superpowers but also had enough energy to create a rift through another universe . in the other universe there is almost no energy and a severe lack of radianite but has immensely advanced technology. the two worlds first agree to share their raidianite but chamber and his clone from the second earth are weapons dealers and decide to sabotage the facility that distributes radianite across different worlds while making it look like the other world did it . he does this so the other worlds go to war and chamber can profit over the war. so the world with almost no radianite aka the attackers attempts to steal all the radianite meanwhile the the defenders try to protect their radianite to prevent there world from becoming a desolate, energy less planet
