Release of Valorant's new Sentinel agent delayed for final polishing
Riot Games has been teasing the new Sentinel agent for a long time. As Act 3 Episode 3 approached, fans were excited to receive a new agent from the Valorant developers. Unfortunately, the developers had to postpone the release of the agent codenamed "Deadeye" for better "gameplay clarity."
In a competitive game like Valorant, Riot Games will be extra careful so as to not release a broken character and ruin the meta. Keeping this promise of quality in mind, John Goscicki, the Character Producer of Valorant, at Riot Games said,
"As development progressed on the new Agent, it was clear to us that they were not at the quality bar you’ve come to expect from us. It’s why we’ve opted to hold the Agent for an additional two weeks, while we work on polishing up those final aspects."
It is not the first time Riot Games have held on to the release of the agent. Previously, during the launch of Skye in Episode 1 Act 3, the agent dropped two weeks after the Act's release.
Nevertheless, John Goscicki also brought exciting news for Valorant fans and the community regarding the new Valorant agent. He stated that the new agent's look will be revealed on Valorant's official social channels tomorrow, October 29, 2021, at 8AM PT.
Valorant fans and the community are excited to learn more about the upcoming Sentinel agent in Valorant, as Episode 3 Act 2 is almost coming to an end.
