Valorant’s newest agent revealed, next update is coming
Riot Games has lifted the curtain on the latest agent to join Valorant and her name is Neon.
Revealed by way of a agent trailerNeon is a fast-paced electric shooter that seems to specialize in zooming all certain maps faster than any other agent in the game. The short story trailer, which is less than three minutes long, shows Neon as an agent from Manila, Philippines, with a great taste in music.
As you can see in the trailer, Neon is a fan of Ylona Garcia’s Entertain Me and 88inity. She also seems to be someone who likes to dream about what the player will achieve on the battlefield using her powers. We see her sprinting and sliding across all the maps shown in the trailer, using her power to make it easier. However, it looks like she won’t be able to shoot while sprinting, so don’t expect Neon to become the run-n gunner.
We also get a quick look at one of her abilities as Neon lifts two large and long electric walls in a straight line, walls that she freely runs in and out of.
The trailer also reveals that Neon will be coming to Valorant with Episode 4: Disrupt, though a release date for this new episode (which Valorant calls its big update) has yet to be revealed. However, the current battle ends on January 11, so some fans have speculated that Episode 4 will begin the next day, January 12.
