We also hope this helps you appreciate the beauty of our Agent visuals with a focus on continuity into the end of game screens.” -Tea Chang, UX Design Manager This new, bold team shot helps to show off your team's MVP and your team composition while reinforcing the emotional narrative coming out of your most recent game-win or lose. “We want you to understand the importance of the team aspect of VALORANT.
With the goal of bringing together visually rich, vibrant, and fresh interfaces to unify our game and marketing visual identities, the first update we want to share is our new MVP screen. This is just the start! We already have greater ambitions for this screen, along with many others. The team replaced our Agents’ textures with their 2D key art illustrations and updated the color schemes behind them to better convey their iconic and expressive personalities. The Agent Browser UI was the first release of this greater effort. You’ve likely already noticed the start of this work in Patch 5.03. Leveling up how we present VALORANT style and aesthetic in game.Broad style explorations at a high level to test our key assumptions.Determined the backbone of our client and explored compatible multiplatform navigation options.Defining where we can build consistency in design choices.Auditing areas of opportunity in core game flow screens.This group’s goal was to identify how to converge efforts across UX, UI, Engineering, and QA to plus-up our game client and allow future scalability more easily. To kick things off, we created a special task-force team to guide these efforts. Additionally, this revamp will better prepare us for a more consistent look and functionality as we work towards future platform experiences. This includes reevaluating our UX/UI standards, assessing art fidelity, and introducing motion design to boost game flow and expression.
For now, we are excited to iterate towards a premium UX/UI front end experience that reflects the overall direction the game is heading. We are preparing for the future of VALORANT, including new features we can’t wait to talk about when the time is right. The team isn’t updating for the sake of it. Let’s break down why we’re working hard on a revamp, as well as our process and thinking around these updates.
The change means some previous functionality may be missing, but we’re still looking at your feedback as we roll out this update. These updates are focused on the out of game experience (outside of gameplay) and will bring a fresh sense of style while improving functionality in some areas. Our UX, UI, Engineering, and QA teams at VALORANT are excited to share some upcoming UX/UI visual changes that will start rolling out in Patch 5.08.
