But what came as a total surprise, was a Valorant new agent reveal, and left the audience totally stupefied. Valorant creates an environment for surprises, by featuring Duality Video during VCT 2021, and now an unusual agent reveals as well. The very short video showed a disassembled robot head and a body that is probably still in the building process.

Valorant New Agent Reveal: Killjoy’s Alarm Bot down

Valorant’s official Twitter handle, @playvalorant, changed its name and picture to Killjoy, so loopers expect the next agent might be a robot built by Killjoy herself. KJ posted cryptic images, with a selfie at a concert, a second image showing an Alarmbot being disabled with the caption reading, “Variable removed. Alarmbot down,”, and few more instagrammable pictures.

The video features the incomplete robot in an unfamiliar setting, which might be in a laboratory, that belongs to Killjoy. The robot seems to glow with Radianite colors, and might as well be having Radianite abilities. The robot’s separate head features some sort of numbers and a triangle, the likes of which we have seen in Raze’s boom bot. The clip didn’t provide much information about the agent, but players have already started to piece together its potential abilities.

On another note, a recent Valorant Brazil video showed Raze fixing her Boom Bot as well, apart from Killjoy’s alarm bot.

Along with Valorant’s update, “This is an Agent whose utility can create moments where you must rely on your gunplay”, it wouldn’t be totally wild to guess that the new agent will most likely disable these abilities himself. Till then, let’s wait for more Easter eggs by Valorant.
