And a few leaks might have given some fans a glimpse into the future\u2014including the name and role of the upcoming character. According to recent leaks, the new character will be a sentinel named Vyse. It's a fitting name for an agent who supposedly has a lot to do with thorny vines, which could be a great way to entrap unsuspecting enemies as they push onto a site or choke point on a map. The agent is also expected to be a female, based on a new voice line where Jett refers to them as a she. Riot Games has confirmed that players will get a first look at the new agent during the VALORANT Champions 2024 finals weekend, which will be taking place from Friday, Aug. 23 to Sunday, Aug. 25. There have been plenty of little teasers, though, released over the last few months, including a hint in a player card featured in the latest battle pass. If these leaks are accurate, Vyse will be the sixth sentinel added to VALORANT's expanding roster of agents. This release would also ensure that the sentinel role has an equal number of agents to choose from alongside initiators and controllers since the sentinel role has the least amount of characters to choose from at this time. The last sentinel to join the game was Deadlock, a character who was considered to be broken upon release due to her ultimate ability since it snatched up any enemies in its area of effect and dragged them to their death. Players quickly realized, however, that the rest of her kit was weak when compared to other sentinels, causing her play rate to plummet. This leaked agent could add a bit of spice to the sentinel role that Deadlock failed to bring, while also shaking up the meta for the foreseeable future in both competitive and solo queue play.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/valorant-abyss.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319059"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1731"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1319059"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1320010,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319059\/revisions\/1320010"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1256256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1319059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1319059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

And a few leaks might have given some fans a glimpse into the future\u2014including the name and role of the upcoming character. According to recent leaks, the new character will be a sentinel named Vyse. It's a fitting name for an agent who supposedly has a lot to do with thorny vines, which could be a great way to entrap unsuspecting enemies as they push onto a site or choke point on a map. The agent is also expected to be a female, based on a new voice line where Jett refers to them as a she. Riot Games has confirmed that players will get a first look at the new agent during the VALORANT Champions 2024 finals weekend, which will be taking place from Friday, Aug. 23 to Sunday, Aug. 25. There have been plenty of little teasers, though, released over the last few months, including a hint in a player card featured in the latest battle pass. If these leaks are accurate, Vyse will be the sixth sentinel added to VALORANT's expanding roster of agents. This release would also ensure that the sentinel role has an equal number of agents to choose from alongside initiators and controllers since the sentinel role has the least amount of characters to choose from at this time. The last sentinel to join the game was Deadlock, a character who was considered to be broken upon release due to her ultimate ability since it snatched up any enemies in its area of effect and dragged them to their death. Players quickly realized, however, that the rest of her kit was weak when compared to other sentinels, causing her play rate to plummet. This leaked agent could add a bit of spice to the sentinel role that Deadlock failed to bring, while also shaking up the meta for the foreseeable future in both competitive and solo queue play.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/valorant-abyss.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319059"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1731"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1319059"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1320010,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1319059\/revisions\/1320010"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1256256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1319059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1319059"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1319059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
