Valorant's new Agent 24 will reportedly be called "ISO"

A brand new Agent named ISO is reportedly set to join the Valorant Agent pool, according to a tweet by KLaboratories. The upcoming Duelist Agent will be a part of Episode 7 Act 3 and have a variety of abilities, which are yet to be revealed by Riot Games.

It’s been almost two years since the last Duelist, Neon, joined the Valorant Agent roster, and fans have been anticipating the addition of stronger Agents since the underwhelming arrival of Deadlock in Act 1 of Episode 7.

Valorant's upcoming Duelist will be named ISO according to recent leak

Prominent leaker and data miner @KLaboratories informed the community about the upcoming Agent's name on Twitter. So far, all his leaks have proven to be true, and there's a good chance we will have an Agent named ISO in the game soon.

Recently, Riot Games published its "State of the Agents" blog, where it was mentioned that Agent 24 will introduce new ways to play and change the way players approach old scenarios. The blog also shared visuals of what appears to be the new Agent enjoying a Chinese delicacy. Riot Games often teases an upcoming Agent's ethnicity through food.

In a recent teaser, it was indicated that the upcoming agent is male, as Neon mentioned that the new Agent doesn't miss his shot, ever. It's not clear if his abilities will revolve mostly around unmatched accuracy and being an Agent who can turn the tables with his precision.

Agent 24 could be the next huge Agent to dramatically change the Valorant meta after Chamber. Also, Jett, one of the most picked Duelists in Valorant, has been significantly nerfed, allowing other Agents to take up the number one Duelist throne.

ISO's debut could have a huge impact on the current meta if he has overpowered abilities, as some have theorized. Riot Games has a history of introducing powerful Agents in Valorant, who then see numerous nerfs during the Episodes. Agent 24 ISO may suffer the same fate, depending on his strength in the live build.

Riot Games has traditionally teased new in-game content in the upcoming Act update via playercards. Given that the "Bulletproof" playercard in the Episode 7 Act 2 Battlepass has been closely correlated with Agent 24, we can expect the new Duelist to appear at the start of Episode 7 Act 3 on October 31/November 1, 2023, with the timing varying based on the player's region.
