Valorant game director ‘Gives up the cape’ to work on a new project at Riot

Riot Games’ Joe Ziegler is saying goodbye to Valorant’s role as game director to work on something new at the studio.

This news comes from a new post made by Ziegler on Riot’s official website, in which he discusses his past eight years there. He reveals that Valorant, was officially released last year, is something he’s been doing for eight years as game director and now, it’s time for him to move on.

Ziegler wrote: “It is with a heart full of gratitude and profound excitement that I come to you today with the news. “After eight years working on Valorant, building it from the ground up with a team of dedicated and passionate developers who have worked tirelessly to serve you all with the respect and admiration that you guys deserve it, i’ll give up my good friend game director mantle, Andy Ho [senior director of game direction at Riot]. ”

Ziegler said Ho is also someone who has worked for Valorant for many years, and his dedication to tactical shooters sets a high standard of inspiration for game developers. Ziegler also said he’s confident that Ho’s time as new director will see Valorant grow and evolve year after year “to become better than I could have imagined”.

As for Ziegler, he will stay at Riot but he will “start something new (*wink, secret…) in the hope that we can scratch the surface of the amazing impact Valorant has had so far.” This could mean anything – he’s probably working on a game for Riot in a popular genre the studios haven’t touched, much like Valorant’s success in the shooter genre. Tactics are dominated by the likes of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Maybe that means he’s working on a new game set in the same universe as Valorant. Only time will tell for now.
