In Valorant there are supposed to be 6 new agents released per year according to the official roadmap. This is why we at MeinMMO would like to present to you the already published heroes and information about upcoming champions.
This is how the Valorant roadmap works: On June 29, 2020, Executive Producer Anna Donlon stated on Twitter how they envision the roadmap for the development of Valorant at Riot Games. Valorant is supposed to bring two episodes each year. Within these, the previously little-known story of the game will be explained and continued gradually.
Each episode is to be divided into three acts. Essentially, these are seasons, but Anna Donlon indicated that the term season could mean anything and that using the term “act” would be clearer.
Each act lasts about two months, and according to the roadmap, a new agent should be introduced with each act. Thus, with two episodes each containing three acts, we would have a total of six (!) new heroes per year. But what do we already know about future champions and which new agents are already in the game?
The latest agents in Valorant:
- Demolitionist Raze joined the game on April 7, 2020, just in time for the beta launch.
- The vampire lady Reyna joined the game’s release on June 2, 2020 in the agents’ selection.
- After a long guessing game and data mining, on August 4, 2020, the German engineer Killjoy entered the game as the 12th heroine.
This article from July 4, 2020, was revised on August 18, 2020, concerning the latest information.
Information about upcoming agents in Valorant – Is Bombshell still coming?
What is the name of the next hero? According to data mining, there are already concrete voice lines for an agent named “Bombshell” in the game. It is quite possible that he will be next.
What does the new agent look like? We do not know much about this yet. There is only a big question mark regarding the new hero. However, if the Bombshell quotes are accurate, then the new agent could be very small. The other agents are actually making fun of this. Since hitboxes in Valorant are all the same size, Bombshell might be wearing a mechanical suit to match the same size.
What can the new agent do? Unfortunately, we have no hints yet. If the name Bombshell is correct, then it might be a character with explosive abilities, similar to Raze, an option.
When can we expect a new champion? According to Anna Donlon, a new agent should come every 2 months. Since Reyna came on June 2 and Killjoy on August 4, the 13th agent should arrive by early October.

These heroes are already available
In addition to the upcoming new additions, there are also the following new agents in the game:
This is Raze: The Brazilian demolitionist Raze is one of the strongest offensive agents in the game. Her skills are fully geared towards damage and kills. She throws grenades, sets explosive charges, and uses a targeting robot that explodes. As her ultimate, she has a rocket that is outright hated by some players because it takes out entire teams. However, Raze’s abilities have been nerfed multiple times and are now announced audibly.
This is Reyna: Reyna is an agent for professionals. Almost all of the Mexican’s skills require a kill of her own. Assists do not count explicitly! However, when you kill an opponent, you can consume their souls to heal Reyna or allow her to dash away quickly. Additionally, she can blind opponents and become the “Empress” as her ultimate. Then she is almost unstoppable as long as she gets enough kills.
This is Killjoy: The German engineer Killjoy relies on technical gadgets to dominate the playing field. She is a mix of reconnaissance and defense. Her alarm bot secures areas, and the automatic turret shoots opponents automatically. Especially when Killjoy is supported by the utilities of other players, the turret is dangerous. Additionally, she can throw grenades and, with her ultimate, literally disarm entire groups of opponents.
