Riot Games might have accidentally shown the next character, Agent 27, for VALORANT in their recent update video about Patch 9.10. This has sparked much talk among fans who saw a new, unidentified agent icon in the clip.
The Leak꞉ Current Insights
The video about Patch 9.10 mentioned many game updates, like new powers and the “regen shield.” At 42 seconds, a strange agent icon appeared in the menu. Riot hasn’t said this is the new Agent 27, but the icon doesn’t match any current characters. This hints that a big reveal might be coming soon.
Riot’s Timing with New Releases
Riot’s habit of introducing agents during big esports events makes this leak more believable. In 2024, they launched Clove at VCT Masters Madrid and Vyse during VALORANT Champions. Fans guess Agent 27 might debut at the VCT Masters in Bangkok in 2025. Riot might also release two more agents, a new map and the very awaited VALORANT mobile game that year.
An Intentional Tease or Just Testing?
While fans are thrilled, some doubt remains. The icon might be a test or early design not final. Riot staying silent about it brings both mystery and doubt, keeping fans curious for more news.
Besides Agent 27, Riot plans to launch the “Combat Crafts” skin bundle, with unique cardboard styles of favorite weapon skins. This shows Riot’s effort to keep the game interesting for loyal fans.
Agent 27 could be a big step for VALORANT if it turns out real. Though not much is known, fan excitement shows how they trust Riot’s careful content planning. Fans should watch out for news at the VCT Masters Bangkok, which probably clarifies Agent 27’s role in VALORANT’s growing story.
