New Agent in Valorant Act 3

Valorant Act 3 is going to release on October 13 with a new map and a new character. The new Agent in Valorant was hinted by Riot Games on its official Tweet asking fans to decode. The decoded message read: “A look on Ascent, River king, Discovered the place belonged to him”. A report by TalkeSport predicted that the Ascent is a map in the game and has a bench. On the bench, there is Tahm Kench, a champion from League of Legends, and the report speculated that the new character can be Tahm Kench itself.

According to a report by PCGamesN, the unknown new agent that the players have been waiting for so eagerly might not roll out on October 13. Riot Games in its recent announcement on PlayValorant.com said: “Not gonna lie, the Act III patch is a bit scary considering the high amount of content coming and potential instability.” The developer later mentioned about the delay in the release of the new character. It said: “This gives our team some breathing room to make sure current Agents play nice with the new map (invisible Spy Cams, invincibility, teleporting in the wrong neighbourhood, etc.) before introducing another variable.” The new Agent will be present to the players after 2 weeks of Act 3 that is October 27, 2020.
