Riot Games Reveals New Image of Upcoming Valorant Agent

Riot Games continues to gradually reveal Valorant’s new agent. A new image of the character appeared on the game’s official account on the Chinese social network Weibo, along with an announcement of a pop-up café dedicated to the agent that will open in Shanghai during VALORANT Champions 2026.

The new image shows the agent in silhouette against a night city lit by purple neon lights. As in previous teasers, she is a woman with long white hair and purple eyes, dressed in dark clothing. The community has long noticed the new heroine’s resemblance to Reyna: they share similar hairstyles, purple eyes, and color schemes.

The pop-up café will run at Waji Café in Shanghai from October 13 to 18. According to Riot, visitors will be the first to learn “classified intel” about the new agent, take part in story-driven activities with NPCs, and try themed dishes. Visitors will also be able to find Easter eggs related to the agent and get a chance to take home themed merch.

The new agent first appeared in the DEV Updates video on September 14. At the end of the video, her silhouette appeared over the head of Valorant Anna Donlon, and the agent seemed to affect her somehow. Some players believe this could be a hint at the character’s abilities.

The new agent’s role is already known from leaks. Dataminer valohabercisi previously confirmed that the heroine will be a Duelist, making her the ninth agent in this class. Another dataminer, kohteihep, shared the icon of one of her abilities, but what it does is still unknown.

The reveal date is also known from leaks. According to VALORANT Leaks & News, Riot will reveal the new agent on October 17 at 2:00 PM during an exclusive showmatch held alongside the VALORANT Champions 2026 semifinals in Shanghai, one day before the grand final on October 18. Riot has not officially confirmed this information yet. If the leaks prove accurate, the new character will become the 30th agent in the game and the second of 2026, following Miks, who was released in March.
