While Agent 8 remains shrouded in mystery, new information about Agent 25 has surfaced on the X platform, courtesy of the dataminer Kingdom Laboratories (@KLaboratories). Keeping with their tradition of leaking game-related information, data miners have extracted codenames and information regarding this potential future Agent.
During the initial months of 2023, information surfaced regarding an agent code-named "Smokedancer." This name corresponds to recent disclosures suggesting the existence of an intriguing Agent associated with pink-colored smoke in Riot Games' workshop.
According to the leaks, Agent 25 will have a cool and flashy appearance, wearing a pink-colored outfit that will captivate both enemies and allies. In addition to their looks, the new Agent will possess mesmerizing skills, including pink-colored smoke abilities that can hypnotize enemies.
The leaks indicate that this hypnotic effect will be akin to the feeling of love at first sight, evoking butterflies in your stomach. While this description may seem off-topic and vague considering the game-related context, the reference to 'butterflies' can be linked to the artwork of the leaked tier 50 player card from the upcoming Episode 8 Act 1 Battlepass.
The artwork depicts a dome-shaped pink smoke, reminiscent of those used by other Controllers such as Astra and Omen; the only difference is that this smoke is pink in color.
Additionally, the smoke's upper hemisphere features something shaped like a butterfly wing. Butterflies seem to be a recurring theme for this Agent, but the exact symbolism behind it remains unknown.
Riot Games introduced three new Agents this year for their FPS title: Gekko joined the Initiator class, while Deadlock and ISO joined as Sentinel and Duelist, respectively. Considering the absence of a new Agent from the Controller class and the recent leak's description of Agent 25, it is speculated that this upcoming agent will belong to the Controller category.
Valorant currently features a lineup of twenty-three unique Agents, each with four potent abilities. Riot Games constantly enhances this character-centric FPS by introducing new maps, Agents, and other thrilling gameplay elements.
Valorant's Agent 25 release date
In the leaked information released by Kingdom Laboratories on X, it was implied that we could anticipate the introduction of the new Agent 25, reportedly code-named "Smokedancer," coinciding with the launch of Episode 8 Act 2 on March 6, 2024.
As fans eagerly anticipate the unveiling of this new Agent, the game continues to evolve, offering players fresh and engaging experiences. Keep an eye on the Sportskeeda Valorant page for the latest updates on Agent 25, "Smokedancer."
