Riot Games discusses the launch of a new character in VALORANT

The time has come to get some answers about new VALORANT characters joining the game in 2023.

In addition, information about the first agents coming to the game has been made public, along with the promise that he will appear soon.

Details about the new agent VALORANT

As usual, only a few clues have been given in this initial presentation of the new VALORANT character. As a result, we don’t know much about Agent 22 other than the fact that he will be laid back; and that his primary responsibility will be to clear the way for the team to plant the Spike while using alternate routes or checking angles.

It has also been hinted that this could be the first Spanish-born hero. Riot Games usually ends the initial introductions of new heroes with a statement in that nation’s native tongue. Still, in this case, the video concluded with the words see you in Spanish.

Character producer John Goscicki, better known as RiotMEMEMEME, comments on the plans for Agents in 2023.

“It will introduce an eclectic and proprietary way of dealing with situations. New ways of checking corners, getting to a location, or planting the Spike. The battlefield can be very stressful. There are a lot of enemies, chaos, and a teammate with a lousy microphone that you don’t know how to deal with… It’s very stressful. Sometimes you need some teammates to help you as you search for a way to plant the Spike… ¡Nos vemos!”

New VALORANT agent launch date

As for the possible date for the hero’s release, the company’s custom has always been to carry out the previews in the act immediately before the release of the new character. This means that, according to Riot Games’ track record, Agent 22 could join the game in Act 2 of Episode 6, which will arrive in the game on March 6. However, remember that this is only an assumption based on the developers’ track record and is not necessarily a confirmation.

The future of VALORANT agents

While the announcement of the new agent has garnered most of the attention, Riot Games has covered other topics in detail. For example, in 2023, three characters will debut: a controller, a sentinel, and another whose type will remain undisclosed. The number is low because Riot Games wants to balance new additions and tweaks to existing features. It has been confirmed that the focus will not necessarily be on having the ideal balance of heroes in each category. Now that there are enough characters to fill all the positions.
