After much speculation and leaks giving hints at what the latest Valorant Agent could look like, Riot Games finally gave fans their first glimpse at Fade, the game's 19th playable character.
The dev team decided to slow down the release of maps and Agents as they looked to give Valorant breathing time to develop a meta with each balance patch. Now that Neon's release is over four months old, fans have been clamouring for a new Agent to spice the experience up.
Previous leaks nicknamed the Agent "Bounty Hunter" as datamining showcased Fade's abilities, albeit with no gameplay for fans to take a look at.
New Valorant Agent Fade to be showcased at Masters
Via social media, Riot Games confirmed that after much anticipation, Fade gameplay will be shown during the Valorant Masters Reykjavík finals.
Fade is the last person you want to find in the dark. But you’ll want to see where this trail leads.
