During the grand finals of VALORANT Masters Santiago, Riot Games officially revealed Miks, the game’s newest Controller, who brings a variety of sound-based abilities to the field. Fans got a first look at his kit through an exciting showmatch that featured celebrities such as Megan from Katseye.
“We approached the sound design of Miks’ abilities by first creating music, then extracting the most vibey elements and building the sound effects from there,” said Kevin Meier, Game Designer on VALORANT. “Music is also a big part of Miks’ backstory prior to joining VALORANT, which we’re excited for players to hear more about in the future. His background reinforces his high-energy, social personality, since music is inherently mood lifting, just like he is.”
