Episode 2 Act 1 of Valorant is set to go live this month, and Riot Games is hyping fans up with a new trailer!
Riot Games has released a new cinematic trailer for Episode 2 of Valorant, and it features the new agent named Yoru.
In the trailer, Viper, Jett, and Cypher are shown going up against Phoenix and Yoru in the latest map, Icebox. The stealthy new agent easily takes down the sniping Cypher, and he manages to outwit Jett with his teleporting ability while Viper and Phoenix battle it out. Ultimately, Yoru was able to defuse the bomb.
Watch the trailer above.
This is the most epic cinematic trailer Riot Games released for its tactical first-person shooter game yet, but it's still unclear what's actually going on in the story. Hopefully, Riot will flesh out the game's lore more in Episode 2: Formation.
Here are the abilities of the 14th Valorant agent, Yoru:
