Cinematics

Cinematics are narrative animations that take place in the lore of VALORANT. They can be seen either in full cinematics made for the start of new episodes or in trailers made for new agent or map additions to the game.
==Summary==
There are two ways for cinematic content to be released: either as an episode cinematic, or through trailers.
Episode cinematics are made for the release of a new episode. They follow the stories of the VALORANT Protocol during missions.
Trailers are made to tease/show off content about a new agent or map. Whilst not a guaranteed feature for all trailers, some can either contain some cinematic clips or are whole cinematic videos themselves, with a story or plot related to that agent/map. Whilst not always exact canon, all these cinematic clips and videos do at least have some relevance to VALORANT lore.
