Riot Games is apparently working on a new control or capture the flag type game mode for VALORANT.

VALORANT is a 5v5 tactical shooter from Riot Games, the developers of the popular MOBA game League of Legends. And similar to League, VALORANT follows the same freemium model for monetization, meaning this game is free-to-play, and there is no barrier to entry. However, players can still purchase cosmetic items such as skins to customize their play sessions.

In short, VALORANT can be categorized as a live service title that will receive more agents, game modes, and maps with upcoming updates to keep the player base engaged. It seems like a new game mode is currently in the works at Riot Games that are similar to the Control or Capture the Flag game mode.
