In an unexpected twist for eSports enthusiasts, the popular tactical shooter VALORANT has made a noteworthy appearance in the latest Mark Wahlberg comedy, “The Family Plan”.
Released earlier this week on AppleTV, the movie features a unique blend of action and humor, and, to the surprise of many, a professional VALORANT match.
The VALORANT scene in ‘The Family Plan’ introduces viewers to Kyle “Kyllboi” Morgan, the son of Wahlberg’s character, engaged in an intense pro showmatch. The highlight of the scene is Kyllboi’s remarkable performance, where he clinches a victory with a Chamber ace, leading the crowd to erupt in cheers for him. This spectacular in-game feat has even sparked playful speculation among fans, with comments like “Maybe EG can sign Kyllboi to play in VCT next season.”
Adding to the scene’s authenticity, well-known streamer Valkyrae and iiTzTimmy also make cameo appearances.
Their participation in this fictional VALORANT match alongside Kyllboi adds a touch of reality to the movie, bridging the gap between eSports and mainstream cinema.
The revelation of VALORANT’s inclusion in the movie came as a surprise to many fans, with the clip shared by Riot eSports interviewer and writer Daniel J. Collette capturing widespread attention. Although iiTzTimmy had hinted at the cameos in a tweet earlier, the extent of the game’s integration into the film’s plot was not widely known.
From a gameplay perspective, the movie scene portrays VALORANT with a fair degree of accuracy, save for a few minor discrepancies.
The team composition featuring Chamber, Harbor, and Sage, although unusual, adds an element of excitement to the match. The transitions between Chamber’s Tour de Force rifle and his Headhunter pistol might raise eyebrows among avid players, but overall, the depiction avoids any significant misrepresentation of the game.
While the extent of Kyllboi’s VALORANT career’s relevance to the movie’s plot remains unclear, its inclusion is a significant nod to the Riot Games shooter. The film, which revolves around Wahlberg’s character grappling with his assassin past while trying to lead a family life, benefits from this contemporary eSports touch.
This integration of VALORANT into “The Family Plan” not only offers an entertaining twist but also signifies a growing recognition of professional gaming in mainstream media.
It’s a delightful moment for VALORANT fans and players, witnessing their beloved game receive such high-profile exposure and appreciation in a Hollywood production.
