The 14th Valorant agent — currently codenamed "Stealth" in the game's code — has been leaked, including his appearance, name, and abilities, including an amazing ultimate that turns him invisible and invulnerable when activated.
The new Valorant agent has been leaked on Reddit and YouTube, revealing all four abilities and a possible name: Yoru. The leak includes footage of the soon-to-be-released Episode 2 agent demonstrating his abilities in the Valorant training mode. The abilities are mainly based on deception, which fit his Duelist role. Riot Games previously confirmed that the next agent is Duelist, one of the four Valorant agent types, generally aggressive fraggers who their team expects, through abilities and skills, to seek engagements and get high frags.
YouTuber 13KapaT has shared the leaked footage on YouTube:
Redditor Kuroi_kaze translated the abilities of the in-game descriptions for all of Yoru's abilities, including the invisible ultimate.
Z — Creates steps sound. Press ‘Fire' to send it ahead, or pre-place it with ‘Alt-Fire,' then press ‘F' to send inactive one ahead.
X — Flash. Press ‘Fire' to throw it, it will pop after contacting with surface.
C — Press ability button to place Portal, press ‘Fire' to send Portal ahead, anchor Portal with ‘Alt-Fire.' Press active to teleport through the Portal.
Q (Ultimate) — Press ‘Fire' to become invisible to enemies, and invulnerable.
Yoru is like a mix of three other Valorant agents: Omen, Reyna, and Phoenix because of his abilities. It would be fascinating to see how players will react to this Duelist's abilities.
Yoru is sporting a spiked blue hair and a jacket with a design revealing the same skull logo we've seen in the latest Valorant Battle Pass. He is also wearing spiked blue gloves in the footage. This matches the silhouette of the agent Riot teased last month.
Riot also teased that the new agent would "tear open" Episode 2. The leaks reveal that Yoru controls portals and opens rifts with his ultimate ability, so the leak definitely fits what they're hinting. However, Riot hasn't officially confirmed that Yoru will be the next Valorant agent, but expect the developers to announce Agent 14 soon.
What do you think about Yoru and his four abilities? Let us know in the comments section below, and check out my TikTok (JakeVyper) where I will share my reaction to this leak.
Valorant's Episode 1, Act 3 will end by mid January, so we might see the new agent when Episode 2 begins a month from now.
