The Filipino agent’s unique gameplay may shake things up for the popular team-based tactical shooter.
Riot Games has just dropped the latest reveal trailer for Neon, the newest agent for Valorant. What makes Neon stand out is that she is fast and fluid, breaking the genre wide open.
For seasoned VALORANT players, Neon is set to bring something new to the plate as she has a dash-and-slide moment ability, something that has yet to be seen in the game. On top of that, she has a double smoke wall, where she can essentially create her path to success, helping her and her teammates breach choke points easier.
She also has a new ability – one that we think was inspired in part by Star Wars (remember Emperor Palpatine?). As a duelist, this, along with her dash-and-slide ability, will be a boon in close-quarter combat.
Of course, we need to get the full lowdown from Riot once her release is official this 12 January – which is also when Episode 4 Act 1 of VALORANT drops. We only have that long to wait before we can try out Agent 18 ourselves in the game.
Also, we dig her music choice.
