New ‘Agent 14’ Coming To VALORANT in Early 2021

Updated:
VALORANT Agent 14

The VALORANT team has something brewing up in their labs: A new character, Agent 14, who will capitalize on ‘lurking’ on their enemies to push new strategies on the field.

Starting mid-December, the VALORANT developers have been posting every day to update fans on the current status of the game as well as its future goals. On a December 16 article Riot posted a written update touching on the State of the Agents. The article shared concerns about defining roles more clearly and the riskier approach they will take in the upcoming agents as a steady foundation has been settled.

They ended the article with a teaser for the next agent:

That said, we wanted to sneak some insight into the future here. The year will tear open with a Duelist for all you “lurkers” out there, who will keep you on your toes around which angles are truly safe.

Pushing boundaries have been highlighted multiple times in the article and this new agent will definitely do that if all our guesses are right. With ‘sneaking’ and ‘lurking’ as its main strength, Agent 14 can push new gameplay into VALORANT. Fans have compared it to Omen, however, he plays a Controller role (one of the 4 roles of VALORANT), and teleporting has proved its pros and cons. Stealth, Agent 14’s rumored codename, will be a Duelist- a high-fragger, fight-seeking role.

Right around the 1:18 marker, you can find the blue ‘stealth’ agent, on the roster of both teams on the top bar. On the agent’s wallpaper, the bottom right numbers showcase Tokyo, Japan’s coordinates, which is Agent 14’s rumored hometown. This is further supporting the Samurai easter egg on Icebox as well.

With the right abilities and in-game performance, this new agent will start VALORANT’s 2021 with a big bang! We are looking forward to this upcoming addition and can’t wait to see him on the field.
