Riot Games has revealed a new game mode for VALORANT called Knockout.

It is a fast-paced and chaotic mode focused on team interaction. The mode can be seen as an evolution of Team Deathmatch, but with added tactical elements.

Matches in Knockout will last 8–15 minutes and will be played in a 5v5 format. The map features a central lane, and the winner is the team that wins four rounds first. To revive fallen teammates, players must eliminate enemies.

The official release of the Knockout mode is scheduled for March 18. On the same day, a new agent — Miks — will also be added to the game.

Recall that Wolves Esports opened a $27 million esports arena.
