Omen From Valorant by Riot Games

Riot Game's Valorant released Patch 8.02 a short patch intended to fix some bugs and update visuals to make the game stabilized for the World's finals.

Riot Games have today dropped a new patch for their online shooter Valorant. Patch 8.02 is on the smaller side of things, bringing only a handful of changes to some of the game's art and a couple of bug fixes.

The biggest highlight is tweaks to Viper and Snakebite Shorty's artworks as well as bug fixes to kill feed and a couple of other issues. It's certainly nothing major but it's nice that Riot are consistently improving the game, be it via smaller or bigger updates.

In addition to this tiny patch, Riot also announced that they are bringing back Esports Hub for the 2024 VCT Season of Valorant, which is scheduled to kick off later in February 2024. Read on below for full patch notes and VTC details.
