Valorant Begins Teasing Agent 15 | Game Rant
With less than a year under its belt, Riot Games' tactical shooter Valorant has become one of the most played in its genre. Ever since the 14th agent for Valorant got leaked, Riot Games has probably been more careful with its info about any new agents or maps. However, that hasn't stopped Riot from starting to tease Agent 15 across multiple Valorant accounts.
Since Valorant's beta phase, players have come to know four new agents. Reyna, a duelist from Mexico who was released with the game's official launch; Killjoy, a sentinel from Germany; Skye, an initiator from Australia; and Yoru, a duelist from Japan who was released last month. Like many games, Valorant has a history of hinting and teasing fans about new characters that will be added to the game soon.
This time, the teases for Agent 15 are coming from multiple Valorant accounts. The biggest teaser so far was posted by the official Valorant Twitter account, which features a ton of details written down in a notebook, along with a unique-looking gloved hand. Eagle-eyed players will recognize the outline of the Ascent map, drawings of agents like Brimstone, Phoenix, Reyna, and Phoenix, and plenty of space motifs.
A notable detail is the phrase "Refine Cosmic Divide," as it sure sound like one of the agent's abilities. Players are also finding hints in-game in the form of star-like orbs on the ground. Previously, developers hinted that the next agent would be in the Controller class, so it's possible that what players are finding will end up being a smoke-related ability.
The German Twitter account for Valorant posted a curious video of what looks like purple energy fields in space. Translated, the tweet reads "The stars stand for a Valorant grind."
An artwork originally posted by Valorant's Russian Facebook account depicts a stunning cosmic scene. What looks like the agent's hand is reaching out towards a star, above a rendition of the Ascent map. Whether this teases the agent's ultimate ability, or just their origin story, is unknown. Some signs are also pointing to this agent being a woman, which would be interesting considering Riot wants to invest in uplifting women in Valorant's competitive scene this year.
Recently, an official playlist has been released for the new agent on Spotify, much like Riot has done for every other Valorant agent. The songs in the playlist give off a vibe of a calm, cool, and collected new agent. All of these together are pointing to an agent that could be some sort of cosmic being, or at least can use cosmic energy for their abilities.
Sometime this year, Valorant is supposed to get a public test server, so it would be interesting to see that go live when Agent 15 could be added to it. In any case, fans should expect to get an Agent 15 reveal soon.
Valorant is available on PC.
