Valorant patch 9.10 is flush with updates, but it seems Riot was so focused on a hefty patch that it accidentally leaked the agent 27.
Valorant patch 9.10 is focused on weapon nerfs, agent balances, and some quality-of-life updates. While some fans are focused on the much-needed run and gun nerf, others are celebrating Pheonix and Sage’s revival. However, a segment of observant players is zeroing in on something entirely different.
It appears Valve may have accidentally dropped a first look at Valorant agent 27.
Details about Valorant agent 27 are unknown, but leaked images from Riot show them to be a woman with red hair and a turtleneck.
On November 20, Riot shared a video detailing upcoming updates to Valorant, including the regen shield, agent balance changes, and more. In one of the many in-game clips shared from the development phase, players spotted a face they hadn’t seen before. It’s worth noting that all clips had playable agents and working weapons, meaning this wasn’t merely a poster, but an actual agent that one of the developers was playing.
That leaves no space for speculation, confirming that Riot is indeed testing a new female agent. However, there’s still a possibility that this woman is a mere placeholder, but that seems far-fetched. If this unknown woman is indeed the next agent, players should expect a normal human, not a Radiant.
The leaked agent has simple brown hair and a feminine, human face. This starkly contrasts with the recent release Vyse, who is a Radiant with an intimidating mask.
Valorant’s Agent 27 is widely speculated to be an initiator. Based on recent clips, the agent appears to be playable and ready for release. Following Riot’s usual agent release pattern, this suggests they could arrive sometime in January, coinciding with the end of Episode 9.
