Joe Ziegler, game director of Riot Games’ Valorant, is moving on from the game to work on something new.
But either way, the change in leadership is an interesting development for a game that’s caught fire ever since it officially released a year ago.
As we know, Riot has a lot of irons in the fire, many we don’t know about yet.
“After eight years working on Valorant, building it from the ground up with a team of dedicated and passionate developers who’ve worked tirelessly to serve you all with the respect and admiration that you deserve, I am giving up the mantle of game director of the Valorant tac-shooter to my good friend, Andy Ho [senior director of game direction at Riot].”
