It has been quite a while since Valorant had received a new agent in the game. The latest agent, Astra, was introduced to the shooter on March 2nd at the start of Episode 2 Act 2.
While the controller has managed to win the hearts of Valorant fans worldwide, many players are already looking forward to seeing the next Valorant agent that’s likely to arrive alongside Episode 3.
Luckily, dataminers have managed to dig up the codename of the upcoming Valorant agent. Twitter user ‘ValorLeaks’ has shared his findings with fans in a post.
The agent is set to be codenamed ‘Grenadier’ and while the details on the agent’s abilities haven’t been revealed by Riot as of yet, we can get somewhat of an idea on what the next agent is gonna be like.
Fans are suspecting it to be an agent similar to the likes of Raze. However, it’s unlikely that the agent will be a duelist since we’ve already received the Japanese duelist Yoru at the start of Episode 2.
The release date of this upcoming agent is still unknown, but fans can expect to see it arrive to the tactical shooter alongside Episode 3 around June 22nd.
