After a long wait, Riot Games has finally shed light on the upcoming Valorant Agent Fade, and fans of the shooter throughout the world are eager to see her in action.
The initial looks on Fade were revealed during the VCT Masters Reykjavík 2022 before DRX and ZETA DIVISION battled it out in the lower round of the event. The reveal showcased what the new Agent would look like, but didn’t include any actual gameplay of the Agent whatsoever.
