Episode 9 Teaser Forecasts the Arrival of a New Valorant Agent
Riot tickled player anticipation by offering a brief look at the new Valorant agent in the Act 1 promotional trailer for Episode 9. The teaser features animation of thorny vines emerging from ground fissures.
An additional teaser can be spotted toward the end of the Abyss map trailer, where a mysterious claw can be seen settled within what seems like a pod, only to move abruptly, suggesting the awakening of the new combatant.
Following the premiere of Episode 9 Act 1, fan theories abound as clues point to a yet-to-be-revealed character. The ValorantLeaksEN community has shared a player card teaser for an agent named “In Bloom,” who bears the nickname “SilverThumb.”
Another teaser displays an hourglass entangled in greenery, which could hint at the abilities of this upcoming operative, aligning with the imagery from the tail end of the Act 1 video.
For the time being, further details remain under wraps. In April, there were whispers from ValorantLeaksEN about an agent known as Sherry; it is still unclear whether Sherry is tied to Agent 26 or another future addition to the roster.
