Ever since a data miner posted a Tweet about the Valorant new Agent leak, the community has been on the edge of its seat, trying to solve the mystery. And finally, three days ago at the Summer Games Fest, Riot Games dropped the first look of what might be our Agent 16. It appears that the new Valorant agent will be a robot!
Riot Games Reveals Valorant New Agent 16 At 2021 Summer Games Fest
It has been a year since Valorant’s launch and we’re closing in on its third episode release. Major new content is coming to the game, most notably, the debut of Valorant Agent 16. So far, all we know about whom is very little. And we can give Riot Games credits for keeping the information secret for so long.
DUALITY // Official Lore Cinematic - VALORANT
You may not know this, but at the time when the Summer Games Fest trailer went out, the entire Valorant Twitter channel was renamed "Killjoy" and decked out with her profile picture. Then there's the picture below shows a conversation between Killjoy and Brimstone, suggesting her relation to Grenadier.
Check out Killjoy's conversation!
The Valorant community is tieing these links together to assume that Killjoy may be the one who builds the robot. After all, she's quite handy with technology.

In-Game Teasers
Unfortunately, we haven't got any Valorant new agent trailer yet, but we do have a few teasers to analyze. Just as in the case of Agent 15, there has already been a ton of hints at Agent 16’s impending arrival.
The weird knife found on Breeze.
The images above show a teaser on the Breeze map. There’s a knife stuck in one of the Radianite boxes, and it doesn't seem like a typical knife. Does it mean Grenadier will be throwing knives that react to the Radianite within the other Agents to disable their utility?
And there's this message.
More notably, there’s also new signage just below the portal above Breeze A site that reads “ARRIVAL IMMINENT”.
Valorant New Agent Release Date
Since Riot changed its typical Agent release schedule by not releasing one per Act this episode, it may signal that Valorant new agent Grenadier is coming for the launch of Episode 3. According to the timeline, Episode 3, Act 1 should kick off on June 22, 2021, one day after the current battle pass expires.
Wait until June 22, 2021, to find out.
It seems like we only have to wait for 10 more days to unveil the mystery that is Grenadier - Agent 16.
And that is pretty much everything we have right now regarding Valorant new Agent leak. We will update you as soon as any new information about Agent 16 comes online. So make sure you stay tuned to GuruGamer.com so that you won't miss it!
