New Valorant Agent Name Got Leaked

But her abilities remain a mystery
by Tit Krajnik on June 21, 2023   

In the buildup to the release of a new Valorant agent, which is set to enter the game by the end of the month, its name got leaked. According to the reports, the name of Valorant’s 23rd agent is Deadlock.

Introduced as a lethal sentinel who can stop agents “dead in their tracks”, Deadlock bares a fitting name, assuming the speculations of her abilities are correct. The new agent was first announced at the start of June when Valorant developers provided the fans of the game with some information about the new sentinel.
 


To date, we still don’t know what kind of abilities the new agent will have, but according to the single teaser image, which shows the agent tinkering with a gadget, and claims that he will be able to stop agents “dead in their tracks”, the new agent’s kit invokes thoughts of Cypher.

Based on the little information we have, we know that one of Deadlock’s abilities will stop players and pull them in "for a closer look", but it remains to be seen what stopping enemies “dead in their tracks” or “closer look” means. Whether it hints at a crowd control ability or just an ability that provides tactical information remains a mystery.

Deadlock will be the first sentinel agent since Chamber, who was added to Valorant in November 2021 and quickly became an important part of the game’s meta before he got hit with a massive nerf in 2022. 

Deadlock is the second of three new agent releases planned for 2023, with the first being Gekko, who was added to the game in March with the release of Episode 6 Act 2. Information about the third and final agent to release this year is still unavailable, but we know that the 24th agent of the Valorant roster will be a duelist.

Valorant’s 23rd playable agent is expected to arrive next week, on June 27, along with the release of Episode 7 Act 1.
