New VALORANT agent name leaked as release date approaches

Valorant devs have teased Agent 23, and while it’s early days yet, here is all we know of the character’s eventual launch, including a release window, their first teasers, rumored lore, and more.

Following on from the latest Agent release in Gekko, Valorant’s devs are gearing up to bring fans a whole new character. And in the latest Dev Diary, players not only got confirmation of the new Team Deathmatch game mode, but we also got new teasers for two new agents coming out in 2023.

Agent 23 was implied to be the next agent release coming up. As for an exact release date, however, nothing has yet been confirmed.

However, Riot likes lining up agent reveals with the Grand Finals of VCT Tournaments. See Gekko’s or Fade’s announcement as an example, coming in tandem with the conclusion of VCT LOCK//IN and VCT Masters Reykjavik 2022 respectively.

And with VCT Masters Tokyo 2023 on the horizon, the chances of Agent 23’s announcement coming during the tournament seem very likely. Finals week of Masters Tokyo is slated to happen on June 21, and we will most likely get an official reveal around then, and perhaps a show match as its first public gameplay.

Valorant Agent 23: Abilities
Devs have already given us a few teasers as to what Agent 23’s abilities and role might entail. First and foremost, Agent 23 will be a Sentinel, making them the fifth Sentinel in Valorant’s lineup. According to a new leak, the name of the upcoming Sentinel is going to be Deadlock.

As for their abilities, nothing has yet been confirmed. However, the devs teased the agent’s abilities, describing them as someone who will “stop you dead in your tracks and pull you in for a closer look”.

It’s not entirely clear what the devs meant by that, but it could be something similar to Lifeweaver’s Life Grip from Overwatch 2, which pulls in teammates toward them when they are in range.

During the final day of the Group Stages at VCT Masters Tokyo, Riot gave players another teaser, this time a snippet for an animation that will be released in the future.
