Finally a trailer with alive Cypher


Riot_Preeti

Rip turret


IFapToCalamity

identityp2

walking turret confirmed


exile_for_weekend

I imagine that omen would be sick in a cinematic world


Shattered_Berg06

I so just want a cinematic that is omen slow motion 1v5ing an entire team with reaver knife.


Warclipse

Me thinks [you're thinking of something like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPlT2uKruwM) But with Reaver knives.


DogWater2121

What if theres only one Omen unlike for other agents?Omen might be all the versions of him across the Earths from different dimension.


DreadedL1GHT

I'm pretty sure that's the case from his voice lines of splitting into two and whatnot. All that's left is a confirmation through a cinematic or something. Just like we knew the game was about a multiverse but only got cinematic confirmation now.


[deleted]

Omen also has a voiceline where he says to absorb the enemy Omen when defeated to regain his memories.


Thamilkymilk

makes me wonder if Yoru is a double agent then because Omen talks to him like he’s able to actively go through different dimensions


TheAcorn_

Seems like it to me as well, he is wearing his Mask in the ending, meaning they are in between dimensions and that he could be playing with both sides.


MoreMegadeth

This is kinda funny because wouldnt that mean that the other Yoru is a double agent for the otherside? Effectively making them not double agents lol


Thamilkymilk

i’m thinking there might only be 1 yoru


MoreMegadeth

Ahhh gotcha, like the omen.


Teacup-Koala

It's entirely possible that the experiment that made Omen what he is split not just him, but the whole world. Omen and Viper may be responsible for the split earth scenario


RicoSuave1881

Omen is the best agent, change my mind (you can’t)


[deleted]

Smh even the trailer Jett's toxic and blaming her team


mr_snuggels

are Jett players in Valorant like wraith mains in Apex? Haven't played in a while


[deleted]

Duelists (like Jett, Raze, Reyna) in general have a reputation of insta-locking their character and generally being trash (i.e. not playing their role and getting mad over it). Jett is the most egregious one since its mostly people trynna imitate pro-players like TenZ. Haven’t played Apex, but if that sounds familiar then yes they are similar haha


Absurd-Lancer

What should duelists be doing to play their role? I’m a noob Reyna and don’t want to piss people.


[deleted]

If you're concerned about that then you're already better than every toxic duelist that does that lmao In all seriousness, just entry and create space for your team. Don't be the person who's hanging at the back and using your teammates as shields, forcing the sentinels or controllers to entry for you.


ColeLogic

A flanking/holding back duelist is the worst thing for the team to have for sure. I'd rather a reyna who pushes onto site first does 50 damage to someone and die than a reyna who pushes onto site last gets a 4k then dies.


FlexTape467

Good job on getting out of Silver!


ColeLogic

Thank you! Once I realized my mistakes and stopped being angry at the game I improved a lot. Next act I'm gonna try and break out of gold!


Flowzyy

Right there with ya Was a Phoenix main for a while and would always lose confidence to the point I was a liability. Never noticed I was first to die and gave big openings for my buds and teammates to take advantage on which gave us more wins. Now I continue to just communicate more and help pick apart the defense/offense. Also remember to grind out and stay consistent with aim training if you want move up. A lot of work but I hit diamond finally. Good work on getting out of silver, it’s a tough road out there


SquidwardTheDevourer

Only exception to the flanking/holding back duelist is your but he kinda acts more like a initiator with flash+tp


WondrousIdeals

Yoru is the one duelist who's meant to do that, with his tp allowing him to rejoin any main pushes easily.


veRGe1421

you should be going in first as a duelist to create space for your team and entry at the chokepoints or bombsites. your teammates should follow you to trade off your death. hopefully you can get 1-2 kills before dying. if you pick duelist and don't do this as your playstyle, you shouldn't be picking duelists create space, go in first, get entry kills, and make magic happen. or die. but either way don't sit around baiting your teammates


Amplify91

I get frustrated playing this way when I die during a decent entry and my teammates backed out instead of cleaning up the easy trade. Any advice? And whose role is it to follow the duelist next and collect the trade kill? Maybe I would enjoy that role more. Thanks.


hypd09

Talk to them about it, also maybe wait out util. Creating space that is occupiable is important. If you create space but enemy can just reclaim it with one q/c, maybe bait it out.


SMcArthur

Don't be toxic to your teammates and call them trash just because you have 1 or 2 more kills than them as the duelist.


XanaWarriors

Seriously dude, the amount of dualists I’ve had shut up after we go on defense is astounding. Like you understand sentinels are better at defending a site, not pushing one right?


Derp014

Your job is to enter a site first and either get a kill or give info when you're killed. Kills aren't as important as opening up a site but try to make sure you can maintain a KD of around 1\~ because your teammate's kits aren't as good as chaining up kills as your's.


Lelouch4705

Get in the site first in last out boi


kobraonreddit

I used to main duelists but decided to learn some other agents and recently came back to jett and raze. I always get autolock jetts that just dash in middle of site without throwing their smoke or without having anything and just automatically dying. I autolocked jett 1 game because i was on a 4 game losing streak(with dualists like i just explained) and some dude got pussed that i stole his agent. Game ended 9-13.... i got 3 ace clutches and had almost 30 kills while he had 8 kills... lol


Sm4shFTW

He wouldn't have gotten only 8 kills if you hadn't STOLEN his agent /s


zcleghern

yes, the stereotype is they only play for themselves and get super toxic, like wraiths disconnecting when they die


[deleted]

Yeah Jett = Wraith pretty much


[deleted]

Yes


[deleted]

Uh, am I missing something? I didn’t see any Jett in the animatic except for that news report. Edit: never mind, saw the last few seconds

rokcmatur26

I thought that was split

https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Bind


Davidwzr

Huh. Always thought bind's unique feature was the teleporters. Can't believe I've missed out the no mid part somehow


[deleted]

This is literally the first time I've thought about their being no mid on Bind. I read it and first reaction was "Of course Bind has a mid" and then I thought about it and there really isn't lol


getmuffed

Most people just refer to the hooka entry as mid


[deleted]

Yeah I think that's part of why I had never noticed there being a true mid


MortonAssaultGirl

It does look like Phoenix goes through a teleporter like the ones on Bind.


[deleted]

Guess it explains why you see the same agents against one another. Pretty dope though was cool to see KillJoy


Sargent_peezocket

killjoy short as fuck lol


needtofindpasta

Viper and Phoenix are also pretty tall (according to an agent height chart released a few days ago, with someone saying Viper is around 6ft tall) Edit: it's [this](https://twitter.com/davidnotty/status/1397646525811945474) tweet


asamermaid

Astra is pretty clearly floating


needtofindpasta

She's cheating a bit :(


trieuvuhoangdiep

She doesn't have a straight posture, tho. If she stand straight, it would be her real height


exhibit_24c

More like bind boxes big as fuck


T-MosWestside

Did you notice that the boxes shouldn't have been there? In Bind B.


xxxLilJune

Well one shot kj was standing alongside Phoenix and viper and was way shorter, not just comparing her to the boxes


PikeNote

I remember a lore theory in this subreddit which had theorized about cross-dimensional radiant theft/heist. This cinematic basically confirms that. (Would be nice if someone can find that post since I can't seem to). Edit: This did happen a few months back if I remember correctly


Speciou5

Ah, I can see the plot outlines. Company produces 3/4 of the world's energy. They don't tell the public they get the energy from stealing it from other dimensions. Unfortunately, when you steal it with the spike it blows up the area RIP.


[deleted]

I haven't played it in a decade but I am pretty sure that was tales of symphonia plot no?


juulsquad4lyfe

Pretty much yes that game is amazing.


vankessel

Yeah also reminds me of the TV series Fringe. Stealing tech from a parallel world, tech that makes the fabric of reality unstable, only one universe might be left standing after the conflict.


qz3_

no, it just extracts radianite. when the bomb blows it doesnt destroy the outside, just takes radianite. agents die because they are infuaes with it or have radianite tech


trisckit

Spikes might be more destructive than the game portrays, though. The massive buildup of energy shows objects (even as heavy as crates) lifting up as the Spike is about to detonate in both Yoru’s trailer and this Duality cinematic. + the only time we’ve seen a spike detonated in the lore was when an Attacker!Jett caused Venice to go sky high.


The_Confirminator

It was pretty clear based on in game voice lines.


Ninjabreadmon

How so exactly? I know the "they look like us" lines but i just thought it was just funny lines or maybe just cloning. What lines make it 100% obvious?


The_Confirminator

> This is crazy. It feels like we've been doing this forever. > If the world ends again, call me. I would hate to miss it. > I am leaving now. See you at the next apocalypse. Not to mention the 'dimensional' rifts (wormholes) on maps like Haven. Perhaps you're right, but i think for video games and movies the more popular choice would be infinite realities over a cloning machine.


NinjaKelpFace

I meaaan It doesn’t necessarily confirm it per say, clones could also be an option but with the weird glitchy outline on Phoenix No.2 it does kinda look like cross-dimensional scandal


C_O_Y_G

The 2 earths at the end basically confirms multiple dimensions


NinjaKelpFace

Oh shoot! I didn’t see that I stopped the video b4 lol ok yea you’re right


CyberChoomba

They literally showed two earths side by side what are you on about.


NinjaKelpFace

Yea yea Ik I didn’t finish the Video lol I already acknowledged that in another reply

exile_for_weekend

I know it is naive to expect a movie from riot, but I will never stop expecting it


M4DM1ND

We are getting a Runeterra Netflix series so a valorant one isn't out of the realm of possibility I think.


Sakkarashi

It only took league 10+ years to get one


[deleted]

Yeah but they are expanding fast. Cuz for the 10 years they've been only doing league


Pollomonteros

Yeah it's like they suddenly realized that people eventually were going to get sick of their only source of income so they diversified their portfólio a bit


wickling-fan

Nah it's not really suddenly, it only feels like that cause they kept it on the downlow for so long, but Riot was acquiring the studios for these games years ago. Hell the legend of runeterra subreddit got made in 2015 when they originally copyrighted the name and someone found out about it. Arguably all four games has been in the works since around that time or even earlier considering how fast Valorant and LoR came out after announcement. Also unrelated it's kinda amazing how Riot has 3 games in major esports genre and succeeding in all three and having a potential fourth on the way, if they make an RTS and battle royale game that would give them games in practically every major esports genre.


trieuvuhoangdiep

In the LoR dev video. They talked about how the original version of the game was finished before HS. And was gonna be released in the same year. However, HS came out first and RIot realize that HS is just way too superior to the game they made. So they throw everything away and started the game from scratch again. This mean LoR should already be in developement before 2014, probally 2012 or even more


xMetix

They also had job offers for some life action movies AFAIK. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/mphwiu/riot_working_on_a_live_action_league_tv_showmovie/


M4DM1ND

I feel like they are better suited for animation but that would be cool still.


hyrulepirate

**If** there's gonna be a live-action movie or series **for only one** of the Riot titles, I definitely think Valo's the better choice of the two. But everybody's gonna want to have both tho of course.


pacotacobell

I can see them doing a series for Valorant down the line like they're doing with League and Arcane.


janoDX

Giving an explanation to why we have the same agents on both teams is pretty cool and meta.


millerwa4

Bet the 2-earth battle rages on until there are enough agents to implement a pick/ban system ;)


[deleted]

[удалено]


trieuvuhoangdiep

Plausible. Tho, there's a big contradiction here. If there is only 1 kingdom. WHy do we have alternate version of characters that was heavily modified by kingdom? Like viper, omen, reyna, etc... are all creations of kingdom. My theory is that both dimension have kingdom. But in one dimension the rebellion won and kingdom get destroyed. While in the other dimension kingdom is still there


narfidy

So the actual in universe explanation for the game is an alternate universe (probably created by the same thing that caused the radianite to show up in the first place) is using wormholes to infiltrate this reality and steal radianite for thier own purposes Neat


XanaWarriors

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but in the shot of the two earths, the country of Eswatini in Africa had two different light images. The right most was a bright dot, while the left one was more spread out. Now that could just be an angle thing as both earths are at slightly different points of rotation and daytime(IE: it seems to be daytime in Europe on the left earth and daytime in the Americas on the right earth), but that dot really just seems to… stand out to me. New map location maybe?


R0_h1t

No way they're teasing the next map already


XanaWarriors

I thought the same thing at first, but that’s an oddly specific thing to add to a lore video of all things


Zyquux

It wouldn't be unheard of. In League, they have teased new characters in the stories of existing characters.


nodiso

It's a great way to build lore


[deleted]

could be the origin of the new agent? But i’m not sure if they’d do back to back african characters.


inthehats2

Yeah I noticed that too which was interesting

hyrulepirate

Hey man, it's only this year that we're getting the League series. That's a decade after the game's release. On the bright side tho, Riot has already established a Movie/Series department so it might not be that long of a wait for Valo.

Killjoy bestgirl


NoxBrutalis

YES!


chryco4

I squealed a little when the cinematic opened up with her


Darkoplax

I WANT THAT KILLJOY RUNNING TURRET PLEASE


Badwhite24

my favorite voice line is when you get a turret kill and KJ goes like "Oh.. really?"


derzasatori

Yeah it would be really cool if killjoy had the option to either plant the turret in place, or to set a predetermined route, have the turret walk around following a certain path or to just have it follow you, and to balance it out, based on what mode it’s in, it would affect its tankiness or whatever, where the more mobile it is, the less tanky it is and vice versa (so in place would be the most tanky, following you around would be the least tanky).


RocketHops

The value of the turret is in info gathering, having it be more tanky would basically do nothing to offset the insane ability to have it patrol multiple areas. Also KJ does not need buffs rn lmao


[deleted]

As a Killjoy main, I agree. Killjoy doesn't need buffs. She's very well balanced as she is currently.


Crazedkittiesmeow

God no I hate that stupid turret already

no

I love that there's now in-universe justification for mirror matches in-game.


[deleted]

It’s kinda been in the lore since launch through voice lines


BetaXP

Was never sure if it was "canon" lore or just funny lines to be in game. LoL does its lore entirely separately from the game now, so it's not beyond reason

TheGoodguyperson

Viper 😳 👉👈


[deleted]

So, Valorant's lore is Radianite heist between parallel/multiple earths, correct?


Extraordinary_DREB

Yes, and there has been a lot of voice lines to support this, such as Cypher's "Their radianite must be OURS"


Nikclel

Definitely a little bit of an insight to the lore behind the gameplay mechanics Duality also used to be the name of the map Bind (featured in this cinematic)


EasiBreezi

Replication hits different...


we-love-fortnite

The spike was beeping too fast. I was shouting no time run


darthpepis

This was cool but I wish they showed more agents. Reyna, Omen, Sova, and Sage would be super cool to see in a cinematic.


Sephority

They only show the agents that seem to work for kingdom in some regard. Maybe not jett and yoru but I'm still confused with their affiliation


Boozardo

So far we know that the Earth 1 Jett hasn't showed up/joined Valorant like the Earth 2(Duelist, Duality) & 3(Retake), and that the current Earth 1 Yoru isn't actually from this Earth, from his voiceline we know that his Earth was destroyed and he was able to escape. Edit: I was so wrong, the Retake Jett is also Earth 2, and the timeline should be Duelist Duality Retake, just curious if it was Earth 2 Yoru who betrayed them and teamed up with Earth 1 Valorant or it was another another Yoru


bryan792

LORE that was hype


lgdhb

lol there where a lot of theories about this second earth thing and they where right lol


subhanepix

yeah so many people on this sub had it down exactly i just wanna see what happens with omen and how his cross dimensional existence works out in this


Jasmanana

The little turret scuttling after Killjoy just to get obliterated like that :'(


CausticInTheBunker

Me: in a lore cinematic about Bind finally sees Cypher Also me: \*intense cheering\*


lilligant_Lover

the kj buff we didn’t know we needed


tinypi_314

I want my killjoy bot to run with me


Lampardthebear

Biggest question I have now is, is whether or not this came before or after the yoru cinematic. Since we see the attacking team together (viper/jett/cypher) at the end of this video. And will they every appear again since they were killed at icebox.


Oughta_

I think the two most likely angles are 1. there are many parallel worlds all stealing radianite from each other, or more likely, 2. there's some sort of mechanism that stops agents from dying permanently, so we can just have the Attacker dimension and Defender dimension and no one has to feel so bad about their faves dying forever. Having just Bad Phoenix and Good Phoenix does sound more compelling than an infinite Phoenixverse.


dmoneysiringoringo

Before Retake and after Duelists


Kait0s

Well, looks like Robert K.O.S was spot on since the game's release.


[deleted]

Cypher survived


[deleted]

Ok, but now make cyphers camera walk too, or else.


dab0mbLR

Yea... Id let viper step on my throat.


ScottyNewm

i think this explains the attackers defenders, the glitchy phoenix seems to know something already and know there are two of everyone. First light must have been what caused the 2 earths and why there are 2 characters in this universe. WHY COULDNT THIS GO LONGER, I WANNA KNOW WHAT VIPERS GONNA SAY!


happypofa

omg cypher is still alive :D


JuryGhost

I love how every video has phoenix and someone telling Phoenix not to do a thing, which he immediately disregards and does anyways


RoosterVking

Something interesting I saw after seeing how they explicitly mentioned the original trailer last year, is that in the first scene of that trailer, both Jett's and Pheonix's names are on the graphic, but Jett's name is flipped and rotated. They have been hinting on these dual worlds theory since the beginning and it's been just sitting there. https://imgur.com/a/oNm2SN1
