On March 1st, Riot Games published an article revealing updates regarding Valorant's balance adjustments and a new agent, scheduled for release at the end of March.

Balance team representative Coleman Palm emphasized the company's shift in strategy, moving from a cautious approach to more decisive steps starting this year. This new approach has already been reflected in recent updates related to the Iso character and will continue in the future. He also noted that Riot Games is actively working on improving diversity in each role of the game and plans to make a number of changes throughout this year.

In addition, agent group leader John Goskiski announced the release of a new agent scheduled for the end of March. The new character is intended to offer players new opportunities for map control and will have features that promote both individual play and teamwork. Goskiski noted that the 25th agent will stand out among others for their readiness to take risks and ability to be beneficial even in the most active battles.

I understand why people like this style of play, and teamwork really works well. Bearing this in mind, many of you will probably be participating in matches in pairs or solo. Some players, like TenZ, may have incredible aim, but they can choose a controller that fits the strategic needs of their entire team. This is the kind of player we envisioned when creating the 25th agent.
