VALORANT players finally spotted the upcoming new Agent Fade in a cinematic trailer before the 2022 VCT Masters Reykjavík Grand Final kicks off today.
VALORANT's next lead Agent, Fade, has been the subject of gossip for weeks. Recent updates have added a new cell to the Shooting Range, and a new voicemail tells how several agents struggled to capture the Turkish agent.
The cinematic trailer shows the mission described in the voicemail, in Cypher's office at the Shooting Range, where several agents struggle to capture Fade. The trailer revealed that Fade is tapping into each Agent's worst fears, with teasers released over the past week.
The trailer also gives fans their first official look at some of Fade's abilities, which envelop the other Agents in a dark gas cloud-like substance. This will likely have the same effect as when players enter Brimstone's office at the Shooting Range. Fade also activates a shadow-like creature flying towards other agents. This ability will likely work similarly to Skye's dog and weaken players when hit.
According to a blog post last month, Fade aims to provide "an intimate feel while hunting enemies." Fans can probably expect new voiceovers and interactions with different agents as they react to Fade's abilities.
Fade's cinematic video gives fans a glimpse of the new agent. Players can expect gameplay footage after the end of the Masters Reykjavik grand final.
