So yeah, it looks like the next agent is coming straight from the Balkans.
The tournament's overall theme seems to back this up too. The Masters Santiago trophy and aesthetic are full of subtle nods to this upcoming character. And we all know Riot doesn't leave these things to chance.
But what about their abilities?
Here's where it gets really interesting. According to leaker valohabercisi, strings found in the game files hint that the new agent might be able to heal... enemies. No, seriously. Healing your opponents. It sounds completely wild, and honestly, nobody really knows how that would work in practice. Could be a trap mechanic, could be a forced heal with some kind of twist. Whatever it is, if true, this would be something totally new for Valorant.
When is the reveal happening?
Agent 30 is expected to be officially unveiled on Sunday, March 15, right before the Masters Santiago finals. There's talk of a developer panel and possibly a mini showmatch where content creators get to try the agent out live. As for the actual release, the agent should drop on either March 17 or March 28, when Season 2026 Act 2 kicks off.
