VALORANT EPISODE 7, ACT 3 ISO DEV QUOTE SHEET

What were your goals when designing ISO?
ANSWER: The goal was to create an exciting duelist that emphasized gunplay
and excitement. We had a few outputs we wanted to avoid, specifically mobility
and healing.
Since we weren’t doing Mobility or Healing, I wanted Iso to feel distinct and what
I’d call a Juggernaut.
It’s why we created the shield, and that he’d run a team through and keep
on going without mobility or healing.

How would you describe ISO’s gameplay style?
ANSWER: Precise and Confident. He’s meant to embody that gun precision and
be rewarded for it with unyielding confidence through his shield and slick
gunplay.

Were there any unexpected challenges or novelty stories you’d like to share when
designing ISO?
ANSWER: The ultimate world was a big undertaking for the whole team. Adding
a new environment to every map took a ton of work, on top of that there was
understanding how it would interact with the state of the game no matter what
was happening at the time. We would have times when a rogue Raze rocket
would hit it, or an Astra ultimate would cut the map in half. All of these different
scenarios needed to be kept in mind.

Anything else you would like to share with our players?
ANSWER: Thank you all for playing Valorant and hopefully having a blast on Iso.
Looking forward to seeing all the clutch highlight reels that come from his
introduction to the game. Good luck in all of your future matches.
