Riot Games Teases New Sentinel Agent for VALORANT
Riot Games, the developers behind VALORANT, have revealed some exciting details about the upcoming addition to the game’s agent roster. In a preview post outlining their plans for 2023, Riot Games confirmed that the first of two new agents planned for release this year will be a sentinel agent. This sentinel promises to be “lethal” and capable of stopping enemies in their tracks.
Unveiling the New Agent
While Riot Games has not provided many specifics about the new agent, they did offer a glimpse into what players can expect. The teaser image shared in the preview post shows the agent tinkering with a gadget on a workshop table, hinting at their ability kit. Although it is uncertain how similar this agent will be to the previous sentinel agent, Chamber, it is clear that their abilities will focus on immobilizing and detaining enemies.
A Possible Cypher Connection
Based on the description of the new agent’s abilities, players may draw comparisons to the existing agent, Cypher. It is possible that the kit will involve temporarily immobilizing enemy players and providing valuable tactical information. The phrase “a closer look” suggests that the agent’s abilities could involve physically pulling enemies closer for enhanced interrogation.
What’s Next?
With VALORANT Episode Seven arriving later this month, players can anticipate further announcements and information about the new agent. The introduction of this powerful sentinel agent is sure to impact the competitive meta, potentially offering new strategies and playstyles for players to explore.
