Riot Games Releases Official Image for New VALORANT Agent, Harbor
Riot Games has finally unveiled the official image for the highly anticipated new VALORANT agent, Harbor. This announcement comes after weeks of teasers and hidden clues leading up to the reveal.
The teasers for agent 21, codenamed Harbor, included cryptic emails from Fade in the Range, visuals of key locations in India, and even an audio log by Cypher. Now, players have a name and a glimpse of Harbor’s abilities.
Harbor, formerly known as Varun Batra, was once a respected hero in India before becoming a notorious war criminal. His abilities are rumored to be water-based, as seen in the teaser image where he is shown surrounded by water and a wall of water. It seems that Harbor’s ultimate ability will allow him to create a dome-like barrier similar to Astra’s ultimate, capable of blocking incoming bullets. Riot has confirmed that Harbor will join the ranks of controller agents, making him the fifth controller agent in VALORANT alongside Viper, Omen, Brimstone, and Astra.

Harbor is expected to be released in the upcoming Act update on October 18. This follows Riot’s decision to forgo introducing a new agent or map in Act Two of Episode Five, returning to their regular schedule of releasing fresh content.
