Riot Games has officially revealed Valorant's twentieth agent, Fade, after a series of teasers and in-game indications. The forthcoming agent will be an initiator-class agent, joining the ranks of Breach, Sova, Skye, and Kay/O. So, without further ado, let's get into the specifics.

The identity of the new Valorant Agent Fade has been revealed

Riot announced Fade, who was internally called "Bounty Hunter," in its State of the Agents blog back in March. "The thought of another Agent that revolves around the intelligence-gathering part of the tactical loop has, for a long, been top of mind for us," the developers noted at the time.

Valorant recently began teasing the agent with brief video clips that were published on Twitter. Following the teasers, Riot published the official image of Fade, allowing players to get a first glimpse at the forthcoming agent during a 2022 VCT Masters Reykjavik match between DRX and ZETA DIVISION.

Although the business did not divulge the agent's skill set, Fade can provide a more "intimate feeling when chasing down foes." It has also been announced that an official cinematic movie highlighting Fade's skills would be published on April 24 during the grand finals of the ongoing VCT Masters event. She will appear in Valorant's Act III.

Furthermore, with the current patch 4.07, Riot has introduced several lore components to Valorant, including a new room in the game's training area that includes a long audio recording of the mission of capturing Fade. In addition, if you go to Brimstone's office in The Range in Valorant, your eyesight will be temporarily blurred, which could be one of Fade's talents. There's also a new room in the Range that depicts a prison, which we assume is where Fade is being held.

So, if you're a Valorant enthusiast and a regular player, try uncovering all the Fade-related hints in Valorant before Riot officially publishes the cinematic on April 24. Also, please share your thoughts on Fade in the comments section below.
