From time to time, the roster of agents available in VALORANT is revamped to add more possibilities for players, so whether playing casually or competitively, find a character that suits your playstyle.
The Riot Games-developed shooter currently boasts 21 agents, with Harbor being the most recent introduction to the title following the start of Episode 5 Act 3. And with VCT//LOCKIN underway, many players were wondering if now would be the right time to reveal more about Agent 22, since 4 months have already passed since the departure of the aquatic controller.
Fortunately, this wait seems to come to an end within a few patches, since John Goscicki, character producer within VALORANTconfirmed the arrival of 3 new agents to the game during 2023 through a development vlog.

After having several operators focused on attack and super aggressive strategies, Goscicki shared on Twitter that the next characters to arrive in the game will have a more relaxed and eclectic style, allowing for a fair division in the currently available roster.

The first of the agents to join VALORANT it will have more creative ways to reach different points, in addition to bringing new ways to inspect hidden places and navigate through the map. This would put him in the same group as Chamber, Yoru, and Omen, who all have teleportation abilities.
In addition to this, this new initiator could arrive accompanied by a little friend that will help him relax the atmosphere on the battlefield, as can be seen later in the teaser shown for Agent 22.
Along with this, the next rookies for the title will cover different roles, with one of these being focused on defense as a sentinel, while the last agent does not yet have a defined role as it is possibly in the early stages of development.
However, this does not rule out that Riot wants to introduce a new role for the first time since the departure of VALORANTsomething that many players have been speculating for quite some time.
“As always, we need to maintain a good balance of roles and playstyles,” the producer commented. Goscicki also confirmed that not all classes will have the same number of agents, as they don’t see the need to have “a perfect one-on-one balance across all roles.”
Either way, we’ll have to wait patiently to learn more about these new Operators, who will bring more creativity and ways to control the map this cycle.
