Following an array of teasers and in-game hints, Riot Games has finally revealed Valorant’s twentieth agent, named Fade. The upcoming agent will be an initiator-class agent and will join the list of initiators like Breach, Sova, Skye, and Kay/O. So, without further delay, let’s dig into the details.
Fade, who was internally codenamed “Bounty Hunter,” was officially confirmed by Riot in its State of the Agents blog back in March. At the time, the developers said that “the notion of another Agent that revolves around the information gathering aspect of the tactical loop has, for a while, been top of mind for us.”
Furthermore, Riot has added many lore elements in Valorant with the latest patch 4.07, including a new room in the training area of the game that provides a long audio recording of the mission of capturing Fade. Also, if you go to Brimstone’s office in The Range in Valorant, your vision will momentarily be obscured, which might be one of Fade’s abilities. There is also a new room in the Range that shows a prison, where we presume Fade is being kept.
