Riot Officially Reveals Hush, Valorant’s New Duelist

Riot Games has officially revealed Valorant’s new agent Hush, a Duelist from Guangdong, China. The announcement came on grand final day of Valorant Champions 2026 in Shanghai. Riot showed the agent’s cinematic trailer right after the opening ceremony, and later, insiders posted a gameplay video showing her abilities.

The cinematic trailer is set to the original song “It’s You,” performed by Karencici. In it, Hush takes out a gang in a restaurant: she steals a Ghost from one of them, moves objects with her mind, and teleports to her die in an instant. The official Valorant account posted the video with the caption “Shh... Hush is here.”

Telekinesis is Hush’s defining trait. Her passive lets her pick up weapons and the Spike and interact with switches from an increased range. She also has a flash, a controllable pull, and a dash. Her ultimate, which leakers had already confirmed earlier, creates a gravity field that lifts every enemy caught inside it.

• Telekinesis (Passive) - Hush can pick up weapons and the Spike and interact with switches from an increased range. The cooldown is around 30 seconds.
• Flow (C) - Hush instantly creates an anchor, then propels toward it after a delay. If she’s in the air at that moment, she briefly levitates in place.
• Flashbulb (Q) - A flash grenade. You can throw it straight away, or prep it and reactivate to direct it toward your crosshair. It explodes on impact with a surface or after a delay, flashing players.
• Displacement (E, Signature) - Thrown the same way as Flashbulb. It explodes on impact or after a delay and pulls players to the center. Anyone who hits a surface or another player gets concussed. The ability refreshes every two kills.
• Suspension (X, Ultimate) - Hush instantly readies an orb and steers it with her crosshair, like a drone. Reactivating or pressing FIRE again detonates it, and every player in the area is lifted into the air. Leaker valohabercisi compares the controls to Gekko’s abilities.

Earlier leaks claimed the agent would be able to copy her allies’ abilities and that her ultimate would change depending on whether she’s attacking or defending. Neither of those claims turned out to be true.

Hush will be the 30th agent in the game, the ninth Duelist, and the second new agent of 2026 after the Controller Miks. She’s also the third agent from China after Sage and Iso. Hush arrives in Valorant on October 27 in the Americas and October 28 in all other regions. You can unlock her by earning 200,000 XP during her recruitment event, and once it ends, for 10,000 Kingdom Credits or 1,000 VP.
