It will be interesting to see the future of Hyper Front, especially after the launch of Valorant Mobile, Riot Games’ own game, and to see if this clone can one day break free from its obvious inspirations and make a place for itself. New characters are Yoru – Pardon, Veil, Nemesis, and Cure Light, alongside a new map and a slew of seasonal content and events. Since that night, the game also gets an update with three new characters (bringing the number of characters to 12) who, although inspired by Valorant, are not exact copies of the previous characters – probably because they caught up Riot Games and have to think a bit for themselves. While Riot Games’ lawyers are certainly hard at work, Hyper Front is now open to all players after the title launched in Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand earlier this year.
It goes without saying that the maps, weapons and even the promotional material are very similar. Prefer a healer? Then Coldcast, which is not a copy of Sage at all, will probably be your best bet. Well, more than similar, the new shooter from NetEase is a true copy of the title of Riot Games.ĭo you like playing with Sova? Then, in Hyper Front, you’ll love the equally skilled archer Faith Arrow. You might remember Hyper Front after a gameplay video leaked around this time last year (the game was then called Project M), which revealed a title eerily similar to Valorant from Riot Games (whose mobile port was announced last year as well).
