Ever since Riot released its 5v5-based FPS shooter Valorant last year, the game has garnered massive popularity amongst PC gamers. The game’s abilities-based agents put a unique twist on the traditional tactical shooter-style gameplay that became popular with titles such as CS: GO. It made all the difference for Riot and helped it to gain a massive player-base for Valorant. Now, a Chinese company has taken not just cues but complete characters and abilities from Valorant’s book to develop a mobile clone of Riot’s flagship title. The offender here is NetEase and the game is called Project M.
Dubbed Project M, the new mobile title was recently announced by the company and the beta test period for the title kicked off earlier this week. It will last till August 6 (today) on the Google Play Store, but we are not sure which region it is restricted to.
