Riot delays new Agent until Episode 3

There’s one notable absence from Valorant Episode 2 Act 3: details on Agent 16. While it was originally believed that they’ll be coming with the next update, it appears that Riot has delayed their release until Episode 3.

The developer is yet to explain the reasoning behind delaying the Agent launch. A new character has joined the Valorant roster in every Act before this one. We will update you as more information arises.

When does Valorant Episode 2 Act 3 launch?

Valorant Episode 2 Act 3 is set to launch on April 27, 2021. Riot usually does a rolling launch, pushing the patch live in Asia first, before doing so in Europe and North America.

That means you have just a few days left to grind out the Act 2 rewards before they disappear forever, so get cracking!
