Riot has revealed the first details on Valorants new Episode, which will include a new character. While Riot is sure to detail some of the other changes that are likely arriving with the new update on Jan. 12, the developer has already given us a look at Yoru, Valorants newest Agent.
Yoru is an Infiltrator Duelist who specializes in misdirection and movement. He can do things like teleport for short distances, blind his opponents with a flash, and turn himself invisible with his Ultimate. The new Agent can even fake the sound of footsteps to throw off his enemies completely.
Along with Yoru, Riot is also releasing a new battle pass that will run until March 1, and a skin bundle called the Run-It-Back bundle, which will include some of the fan-favorite skins from Valorants first Episode.
Valorant Episode 2 Act 1 will go live on Jan. 12, and will likely come with some other patch notes and balance changes. For now, you can check out Yorus full kit so you know what to expect from the tricky new Agent.
