Riot suing NetEase competitor for copying ‘substantial parts of VALORANT’

Riot Games has filed a lawsuit against publisher NetEase over the company’s five-vs-five mobile shooter Hyper Front, which Riot alleges is a “copy of substantial parts of VALORANT.”

In a lawsuit filed in a U.K. court, Riot alleges that NetEase copied numerous parts of VALORANT to put into Hyper Front, including “the overall type and design of the game,” game modes, characteristics of agents (named “heroes” in Hyper Front), maps, the practice range, weapons, the user interface, and sound effects.
