Since the release of the last agent in Valorant, the Chinese duelist Iso, it has been 3 months, and the gaming community is already expecting a new character. However, rumors from insiders suggest that Riot Games have postponed the release of the new agent until the end of March 2024.
Let's recall that the new agent was teased about a month ago. The developers released a video dedicated to the new Year of the Dragon and the upcoming skin set. In the video, three agents are in the foreground, but behind them, the back of an unknown character can be seen. The teaser of the new agent can also be seen on a game card. For more details, read our material.
Despite many teasers and rumors, insiders report that Riot Games have delayed the release of the new agent. Players speculate that this is related to the recent layoffs at the company. As reported by a dataminer from the VALORANT Leaks & News channel, the game developers plan to officially reveal the new agent only after the grand final of Masters Madrid, which will end on March 24 at Madrid Arena. Thus, Riot Games are taking a cue from other major companies to showcase new content to the largest possible audience.
For now, this information is only at the rumor level, but considering that there are no fresh mentions of the new agent, it can be assumed that the developers have indeed postponed its release.
