Riot Games teased the upcoming Valorant agent during the opening ceremony for the Valorant Champions Grand Finals. The trailer shows a silhouette created from coded strings of a combination of numbers and letters while a woman is heard speaking in Filipino and English about her powers.
According to Cynprel, Valorant’s lore expert, Agent 19 hails from Manila, Philippines, and is a Radiant character. Her powers deal with electricity since she refers to “lightning” (Filipino: lintik) in the teaser.
Cynprel also noted that the next agent plays a “role in the alpha-omega bridge,” a nod to Valorant’s mysterious lore.
Riot teased the origins of the next agent in various ways before releasing the clip during the VCT Champions 2021 final broadcast. For instance, in a tweet posted on November 9, fans quickly noticed the binary code in the image, which translates to the map coordinates somewhere in Taguig City, Philippines.
Moreover, in the client’s most recent Night Market update, players can see star-shaped lanterns that are most likely “parols,” traditional Filipino lanterns hung throughout the holidays.
Valorant Agent 19 is expected to release around January 2022 with the arrival of Episode 4 Act 1 (Patch 4).
To recall, before the 19th agent was teased, Riot launched the 18th agent, Chamber, in Episode 3 Act 3 in November 2021.
