VALORANT Timeline
Note: The VALORANT Timeline listed below is a product of the Wiki and is not official VALORANT content, in order to allow us to use dates to describe when specific events happened in VALORANT lore in relation to others

VALORANT takes place in a near-future Earth that still uses a Gregorian calendar. There are no exact canon dates for how far in the future VALORANT is (any "confirmed" dates from cinematics are a result of details from development phases making it through to the final product ), though a timeline of this future can still be created using First Light as a reference point; BFL can refer to the years Before First Light, AFL can refer to the years After First Light, and 0 YFL refers to The Year of First Light, the year that First Light occurred in:

 0 YFL 


 * First Light occurs.

Mirror Earth

 * Main article: Mirror Earth

Not much is known about the Mirror Earth, though those that have learnt about its existence are either members of the VALORANT Protocol or Kingdom Corporation, the latter of which partnered with their mirror counterpart Kingdom Industries to create a research lab in Santa Fe, USA, Earth-1. To the rest of Earth's population, it appears that the existence of the Mirror Earth is being kept a secret.

Whilst several Mirror Earth inhabitants have made their way onto Earth-1 as Kingdom Ind. employees working at the American lab, the Mirror Earth VALORANT Protocol has been known to send agents to Earth 1 in attempts to steal their radianite for themselves. Their motivations for doing this are unclear, though its possible Earth-1's VALORANT members with the highest clearance levels may know why. The Mirror Earth is currently the only alternate reality Earth known to possess the technology to traverse between worlds.

Alternate Timeline
"I'll destroy every Reyna for what she did to you-... correction, them."

- KAY/O (Match Start with an enemy Reyna)

In an alternate timeline, centuries after the Rise of Venice, Humans and Radiants were at war with each other. These battles resulted in the ruination and annihilation of Earth, with Paris being mentioned as one such city to fall. The counterparts of Radiant Earth-1 VALORANT agents were instead weapons for the Radiant forces, including Astra, Reyna, Sage, and Skye, with Reyna appearing to have played a pivotal role in this war. To deal with her and the rest of the radiants, the humans created and programmed the robot KAY/O to kill them, and he was eventually able to kill Reyna. Whether this brought about the end of the war or not is not known, but at this point humanity had suffered severe losses. Brimstone and Sova are known to have been part of the Human forces.

Sometime after having dealt with Reyna, KAY/O decided to travel from his Earth to Earth-1 using a specialized teleporter.
