For many game developers, April Fools’ Day is one of the best opportunities to include zany features in games, or trick fans into believing unorthodox updates are being added. Riot Games has been known to join in on the fun over the past decade, and they’re taking it a few steps further with VALORANT this year.
As part of today’s shenanigans, Riot released a list of patch notes for an “upcoming” VALORANT update that, at first glance, appears rather standard, but upon closer inspection, is simply the development team playing along with well-established memes within the community. These patch notes do not indicate any changes that are actually being added to the game, and are simply an April Fools’ joke.
