Recently, Valorant developers revealed some exciting details about the upcoming agent, and here’s everything you need to know about it.
Riot Games’ Valorant is one of the most popular first-person shooter games. The competitive esports title boasts several maps along with unique agents. Every agent in Valorant flaunts different abilities that are crucial to the gameplay.
Riot promised to release a new agent in each Act; however, there wasn’t any new agent in Episode 2: Act 3. Fortunately, the devs confirmed that we’d definitely get a new agent in the Episode 3 update.

Valorant New Agent Abilities
Recently, Valorant released a post to talk about the State of the Agents. Besides talking about future balances for the existing agents, devs dropped some interesting information about the upcoming agent.
Apparently, the agent’s abilities will feel familiar to players who love playing traditional FPS games. That’s because, according to the developers, the new agent will create “moments where you must rely on your gunplay.”
Of course, it’s still too soon to assume anything based on that statement; however, we think that a new agent might be able to pause other agent’s abilities for a few seconds.
Nevertheless, this is only a prediction after reading the above statement from Riot, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Besides that, Valorant devs also revealed a teaser image for the new agent. And thanks to Floxay on Twitter, we know that the image is titled “Data Transfer.” The data miner also revealed a spray from the previous Battlepass, which might be teasing the upcoming agent’s look.
