Question: What Game Engine Does Valorant Use?

Answer

Valorant, the popular tactical first-person shooter developed by Riot Games was made using Unreal Engine 4.

Here is a basic illustration of how one might start a new project using Unreal Engine 4 in C++:

#include "MyGameModeBase.h"

AMyGameModeBase::AMyGameModeBase()
{
    // Set default pawn class to our character
    DefaultPawnClass = AMyCharacter::StaticClass();
}

This code snippet represents the creation of a new game mode in Unreal Engine 4. When developing a game with UE4, you typically define game modes, characters, controllers, and other gameplay elements using both Blueprints (UE4’s visual scripting system) and C++, depending on the needs and complexity of your game.
