New screenshots reveal more details about Valorant Agent 24

A fresh leak from well-known data miner ValorLeaks claims that ISO is the next Valorant Agent, who is scheduled to enter the Valorant Agent pool with Episode 7 Act 3. 

It’s been over two years since the last Duelist, Neon, entered the Valorant Agent roster, and fans have been waiting for the entrance of more potent agents since the lackluster debut of Deadlock in Act 1 of Episode 7. It was widely assumed that Agent 24 would be a Duelist, and with the introduction of characters like Gekko and Deadlock, fans would appreciate a change. In a recent teaser, it was revealed that the new Agent is, in fact, a Duelist with extraordinary ability.

Amid the current anticipation, a fresh leak has revealed who Riot Games’ highly anticipated duelist will be. Popular Valorant data miner ValorLeaks released a screenshot of the new character on the agent selection screen on social media. Iso, the new agent, emerged with short hair and a black jacket with a flipped-up collar and a purple pattern behind it.

What are the new Agent ISO’s abilities?

It’s difficult to predict exactly what abilities the new Agent will have, but based on the developer’s clues and the buzz around him, he might become the new meta when he shows up. This new duelist, according to Valorant Character Producer John Goscicki, will bring an unexpected twist and maybe a new gameplay concept to Valorant.

Some on the VALORANT subreddit, for example, believe Iso will have the power to erase recoil from his weapons for a short duration. Many speculate that he’ll have a time-slowing ability, while others believe that he’ll have a variation of Spike Rush’s one-shot Golden Gun that refills on takedowns.

Additionally, there are movies showcasing the agent’s marksmanship, in which the protagonist consistently shoots through the same bullet hole. In the most recent leak, the figure appears to be carrying a knife, which contradicts some of the accepted beliefs about his powers.

Riot Games has a history of using player cards to hint at new in-game content that would be included in the next Act update. Owing to the tight correlation between Agent 24 and the “Bulletproof” player card found in the Episode 7 Act 2 Battlepass, the new Duelist is anticipated to debut at the beginning of Episode 7 Act 3 on October 31/November 1, 2023, with specific timings depending on the player’s location.

If, as many have speculated, ISO is released with incredibly powerful abilities, his introduction might have a significant effect on the current meta. Riot Games is no stranger to introducing strong Agents for Valorant, though they often receive a lot of nerfs during the Episodes. Neverthlessfans are excited to welcome a new duelist after a lengthy wait, and his arrival will probably result in some adjustments to the way teams approach the game.
