The new agent for Valorant is Yoru, who has the ability to teleport for short distances. You can see Yoru in action in the trailer for Episode 2 below. Yoru’s abilities include a way to mimic footsteps using an echo, teleportation, and he is able to open a dimension in which he can throw a flash grenade which activates after it has hit a hard surface. Along with the new season comes a new Battlepass and a skin pack featuring cosmetics from Episode 1. If you are unfamiliar with Valorant, it’s a 5v5 first-person tactical shooter and is free-to-play on PC. In the game, teams of five players are pitted against each other to win a round-based, attackers vs defenders, best-of-24-rounds gunfight. The game launched its closed beta in April last year, and broke viewership records with 34 million hours-watched in a single day, and surpassed 1.7 million peak concurrent viewers. Over the course of its two-month beta testing period, an average of nearly 3 million players logged on each day to play.
