A highly anticipated new agent is set to revolutionize the Valorant agent meta. Valorant Agent 24, the final addition to the game’s roster this year, is expected to bring exciting new dynamics to gameplay. Riot Games has dropped several hints about the identity and abilities of this mysterious character, building up anticipation among players.
Release Date: Between Episode 7 Act 3 and Episode 8 Act 1
Agent 24: A High-Flying Duelist
Riot Games provided the first clue about Agent 24 in their State of the Agents blog post. The image depicted the agent enjoying a traditional Chinese mala hot pot meal, hinting at the character’s possible Chinese roots. This has led fans to speculate about the agent’s nationality and cultural background.
Distinctive Abilities: Octadecagon-Shaped Ability
In Valorant patch 7.07, a new agent ability with an octadecagon shape was introduced on Sunset. This ability bears a striking resemblance to the Bulletproof player card found in the Episode 7 Act 2 Battle Pass. Riot Games often leaves hints about new agents and maps in their Battle Passes, making this connection significant for players eagerly awaiting Agent 24’s arrival.
Similar to Apex Legends’ Octane: Propelling Agents into the Air
Fans believe that Agent 24’s octadecagon-shaped ability will allow agents to be propelled into the air, similar to Octane’s Launch Pad ultimate in Apex Legends. This speculation is fueled by Valorant Character Producer John Goscicki’s association of Agent 24 with Paper Rex’s star duelist, Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie. Jinggg is known for his impressive Blast Pack satchel plays as Raze, creating space for his teammates to capitalize on.
These are the main hints revealed by Riot Games so far, building excitement and anticipation for the release of Valorant Agent 24.
