A VALORANT State of the Agents blog post teases a new agent on the way

In a Valorant blog post, Riot Games character producer John Goscicki said that the notion of another agent “that revolves around the information collecting element” like Sova has been “on the table” for a while.

The team worked on this notion and “landed in a space with more ‘localised’ initiation and recon tools,” according to the team. The new agent will have a more “intimate sensation when hunting down opponents,” according to Goscicki, offering fans their first glimpse of the new agent. “Herkesin bir korkusu var,” the Turkish word that concludes the blog entry, translates to “everyone has a fear.”

A desk is also shown in the teaser image in the post, which most likely belongs to the new character. Fans can see an open laptop and corkboard in the backdrop, as well as a warm cup of coffee or tea in the centre of the desk. On the computer, there is a picture of Sova, and Cypher is in the centre of the bulletin board on the wall.

It’s unclear how or why the new character is blackmailing other agents, but it’ll almost certainly have something to do with their skill set.

According to previous leaks, the codename BountyHunter was added to the VALORANT game files, as well as hints of a new Totem ability. The new agent will most likely have one-of-a-kind tools for tracking down certain personalities and gathering data for their case.

Riot hasn’t said when the new character will be available, but fans will most certainly find out soon.
