VALORANT’s New Agent 27: Everything You Should Know

Who is Agent 27? Nationality and Role Revealed

Riot Games clarified that Agent 27 is from Colombia and will be an Initiator. In a teaser video, the agent is seen using a gadget that resembles the device from the “Striking Distance” player card in the current battle pass.

The video shows the agent arming what looks like a gauntlet or some high-tech device on his left arm, suggesting a link to his powers. Additionally, the agent picks up a pair of thin orange sunglasses—an element highlighted in the teaser. These sunglasses might be a key gameplay tool, adding mystery to their abilities.

Hints and Teasers: A Trail from the Battle Pass

Interestingly, the first hint about Agent 27 appeared two months ago with the start of the current battle pass. The “Striking Distance” player card was available to players at tier 50. Riot Games has used player cards in the past to tease future agents.

The card features bright colors and a symbol resembling a ship or airstrike, possibly hinting at the agent’s fighting skills. Notably, the card was named ‘Glass TE’ in the game files, sparking speculation about their powers. Could “glass” hint at stealth, protection, or even invisibility? While codenames don’t reveal much, they certainly fuel anticipation.

When is Agent 27 Arriving? Release Date and Speculation on Abilities

Agent 27 is set to release on January 10, 2025, during the Episode 10 Act 1 update. While Riot Games has not yet shared the full set of abilities, recent trailers suggest their gameplay will combine technology and strategy. Fans can expect more information in the days leading up to the release.
