Knowing the agent release order is essential for VALORANT players who are keen to know more about the history of the game with the game nearly completing 6 years in 2026.
Since the game went live in 2020, a roster of ten agents was already available during the closed beta release of VALORANT. From then, agents debuted in the game one by one, which began with the official release of the game on June 2020. This was done since then to highlight the agents for a certain period of time. Ranging from soldiers and spies from different countries, up to cyborgs, robots, and even mystical beings, the game offers a wide variety of agents to choose from. Aside from their different roles, they each also have various interesting backgrounds and histories that make the lore of VALORANT more colorful than any other FPS title.
