Who Is This New Valorant Agent: Deadeye?

According to our friend ValorLeaks on Twitter, the new Valorant agent is called Deadeye and might be a duelist. And honestly, it kind of reminds us of Midas from Fortnite. Here is the leak with some nice pictures of Deadeye:

What also stands out in the pictures is the weapon Deadeye is holding in his hand. We are currently not aware of any weapon that looks like this - so it could very well be that we will get a new weapon with Deadeye. Or maybe the weapon is tied to one of Deadeye's skills, I mean with a name like that it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to predict what he might at least focus on.

In the past, Riot promised to release up to 6 agents per year and so far there have been Astra and KAY / O in 2021. Another agent for the next act would fit into the schedule. So far, however, Riot has not commented on Valorant's new agent Deadeye.

Note: We will continue to report on this story as it develops, so be sure to return.

When Is The New Valorant Agent: Deadeye's Release Date?

So far nothing more is known about the new agent: Deadeye, but we can comfortably assume he'll be released with Episode 3 Act 2. Needless to say, we're excited, he looks like he'll be super fun to use, so hopefully, he is released that soon.
