A three-day hackathon becomes Gauntlet: Glitched on VALORANT
Game designers Ryan Cousart and Sherry Fan and product manager Armand Asdourian explain how a quick internal project grew into the shooter's new mode.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Seeing this first? You’re on Attackers with Demo guy.
VALORANT's official channel posted fifteen videos in seven days, and the one with the most pull is a sit-down rather than a trailer. "Developing Gauntlet: Glitched // Dev Diaries" brings together game designers Ryan Cousart and Sherry Fan and product manager Armand Asdourian. The description says the new mode started life as a three-day hackathon project and was built out from there. Two days in, it is the busiest thing on the channel.
The rest of the week was a grab bag of short, teasing titles. "Coffee with a view?" went up the same day and follows close behind. "Is the Warden your next buy?" and "What @in8flo.official said" both opened strongly and then settled. The oldest of the lot, "Seeing this first? You're on Attackers with Demo guy.", has the biggest total so far. A four-part Brimstone story, "The Dragon King Returns — Brimstone's Revenge!", is still drawing viewers six days after its first part. Maybe fans are waiting to see how the other three chapters play out?
Among game publisher and esports channels, VALORANT sits third by subscribers, behind LoL Esports and PlayOverwatch. Overwatch's channel is running a touch above its usual pace, and Bethesda Softworks is close to its normal day.
