A new agent, 17, is going to be part of Valorant very soon
Riot Games is consistently releasing new agents for their 5v5 tactical shooter Valorant. We already have some leaked information about the new agent joining your favourites.
A new agent is added to the agent roster at the start of every episode. Right now we have 16 unique agents. KAY/O a was the latest agent added to Valorant. With every new agent, we also learn the story of Valorant. Riot Games is releasing cinematic videos of the Valorant lore as new agents drop.
The Twitter account for ValorLeaks data mines the code from each update to find anything new. According to his latest tweet, he has found a codename that could be of a new agent. He has not disappointed us in the past with all his leaks turning out to be true. The codename ‘Sprinter’ and ‘Deadeye’ might give us some hints about the new agent.
Valorant has four classifications of agents each one with a different role. They are alternating between them to maintain a balance in the game. The latest agent, KAY/O is an initiator. Riot may be planning to release another duelist as Yoru was released a while back.
The current ranked and competitive meta is dominated by Jett players. Jett is a duelist with 2 different movement skills and smokes. So it is possible that Riot will release another duelist with movement skills.
The codename ‘Sprinter’ certainly suggests the same. ‘Deadeye’ is also a reward for Sova’s agent contract. You can get it by completing tier 8 of his contract. The new agent might have a connection with him.
Right now all we can do is speculate and hope for official news from Riot Games. We will update you as soon as we have more information about the new agent.
