Now adding to the previous leak, he has additionally revealed that "Fade" is the name of Valorant Agent 20. Additionally revealing Agent 20 Fade's description, he said, "Fade, an Initiator, is the next agent coming to Valorant. Bury your fears, or she will hunt them.

The mysterious figure has left numerous clues throughout the Valorant map which are both instructive and disturbing. What they desire is unknown, but Viper wants them on the squad and it is possible that Valorant agent 20 could be this evil character.
Valorant Agent 20 - Fade release date
Valorant Agent 20 will join the current lineup with Episode 4 Act 3, according to Riot Games, but the precise dates have not been released as of writing.
Ignoring any delays, April 26, 2022, will be the possible Valorant Agent 20 release date as Episode 4 Act 3 also releases then. This release date is can be deduced from the fact that Riot Games has always been consistent with new content for this game and the Episode 4 Act 2 battle ends on that same date.
Moreover, physical advertisements for Riot's next Agent have been spotted in Turkey by fans. "ok Yaknda" was written on the advertising, which approximately translates to "very soon" or "very close," hence the wait for the new agent isn't long.
The leaks have furthermore claimed that Agent 20 is a female.
In addition to these advertisements, the official VALORANT social media pages have released another teaser, this time showing Breach imprisoned in a location with the same black swirls surrounding him.

Valorant Agent 20 - Fade abilities
Earlier, players were taking a guess on Valorant Agent 20 abilities with the tidbits of data available. It was suggested that the next Valorant agent 20 may be capable of hacking.
However, on March 28, the entire list of Valorant Agent 20 abilities was leaked, giving layers a proper idea of what to expect from the upcoming agent.
- Valorant Agent 20 abilities leak
While the March State of the Agents report didn't provide much in the way of background information, it did offer us a clear indication of what abilities this unknown individual will bring to the table.
Riot devs have been experimenting with the notion of adding another Initiator like Sova, according to Valorant Character Producer John Goscicki. Clearly implying the next Valorant Agent 20 is an Initiator.
After the small hints from the developers, leaks revealed the entire kit and the potential name of Valorant Agent 20. While it's impossible to know for sure if this kit is correct, the leaked BountyHunters Abilities are:
- Fade's PROWLER (C):
EQUIP. FIRE to send a creature out which will travel in a straight line looking for enemies AND/OR Trails. HOLD FIRE AND MOVE MOUSE to steer the creature in the direction you are facing. When the creature finds a trail or enemy, it will move towards them. Upon reaching the enemy, it will start a .5s cooktime and then NEARSIGHT the closest enemy for 3s. Only one Creature can latch onto a TRAIL ever.
- Fade's SEIZE (Q):
Equip an orb. FIRE to throw the orb. The orb will travel in the air a max time of 1.5s until dropping to the ground. Upon hitting the ground, it will stick in place and being to cook for .5s. After .5s a zone will expand out to 7m and all enemies caught will be tethered to the center. Tethered enemies suffer 75 decay damage, are deafened, and cannot escape the zone by normal means for 5s. Can be reactivated in flight to drop earlier.
- Fade's HAUNT (E):

Once it hits the ground, It raises back up and turns into an Eye that can be destroyed. Equip this ability, fire to send out a wave of dark mist. If the mist comes in contact with an enemy they will be TRAILED, DEAF, and DECAYED for 12s.
- Fade's NIGHTFALL (X):
Equip this ability, FIRE to send out a wave of dark mist. If the mist comes in contact with an enemy, they will be TRAILED, DEAF, and DECAYED for 12s.
According to Cypher, this undisclosed agent's hacking talents are top-notch. For a limited time, expect this new agent to hack the abilities of other agents. That will undoubtedly have an impact on the current meta.
Moreover, on Brimstone's map and Killjoy's Nano Swarms, the new Valorant home screen adds an additional exclamation mark. The same eye appears again, implying that their kits have been hacked, hinting more at Valorant Agent 20 abilities.

Valorant Agent 20 - Fade nationality
We may have a clue about the country of the forthcoming agent 20 nationality thanks to Cypher. The attacker is from Turkey, as per Cypher's breakthrough with the encrypted messages delivered by the unidentified hacker.
Although this doesn't verify the new agent's nationality, it does give us a strong clue that Agent 20 will be Turkish.
Looks like Riot is putting up physical advertisements for the new Agent in Turkey!

Moreover, during the State of the Agents on March 28, the statement "Herkesin bir korkusu var" meaning "everyone has a fear," is a great hint that the next Valorant Agent could come from Turkey.
There hasn't been a single Turkish Agent in Valorant yet, and the developers releasing physical advertisements for the next agent in Turkey leads us to conclude that the certainly the Valorant Agent 20 will be from Turkey.

Valorant Agent 20 - Fade teasers
The mysterious figure has left numerous clues throughout the Valorant map which are both instructive and disturbing. What they desire is unknown, but Viper wants them on the squad.
- Valorant Agent 20 State of the Agents teasers
There wasn't much information about the identity of the next agent in a 'State of the Agents' development update on March 28, but we did get a few significant hints.
The statement "Herkesin bir korkusu var" at the end, which means "everyone has a fear," was the clearest. As a result, the next Valorant Agent could come from Turkey.
Then, a new short video of Cypher being trapped by black tendrils of terror was posted by Valorant on April 12, which could be a reference to the 'Seize' ability shown in the March 28 leak.
Aside from abilities that have already leaked, there are a number of audio cues that may be heard while exploring the Range and after interacting with the Range's locked door, you'll notice a bizarre shape materialize on the ground.
It's highly likely that the future Agent will use terror to their benefit, considering the noises that could be recognized and the actual advertisements that have been discovered.

- Valorant Agent 20 battle teasers
The dev team has made it a routine to tease new agents in the seasonal battle passes now. As a result, it is easy for the players to have an idea of upcoming events as we won't have to seek somewhere else to see who will be added to the existing roster.
The major hint we got for the next agent, that is Valorant agent 20 is from the two-player cards in the current battle pass that appear to be questionable.
The first player card has an eye dubbed "Silence" that seemed like an agent teaser and was then confirmed in the game, but the second player card shows a character who isn't Reyna and who isn't carrying a Vandal.
- Valorant Agent 20 Players Card 1 teaser
Red dossiers have been strewn around the maps by an unknown figure, threatening each spy. The signature eye is imprinted on these cards.
The eye card could be explained by Viper's audio message to Brimstone. The forthcoming Valorant Agent 20, she claims, will assist in gathering more information because the roster requires "more eyes", implying Valorant Agent 20 will most likely be an Initiator as a result of this.
This enigmatic figure has amassed a database on every Valorant agent's personal and professional life and is hitting all sensitive locations to violate the protocol, as evidenced by the Omen and Viper cards.

Furthermore, letters from this unknown entity have appeared in Brimstone's office in the VALORANT's training range, threatening Brimstone with each member's private details from the VALORANT protocol. Moreover, if Brimstone is unable to clear his name, the information will be released to the public.
Brimstone dispatches an attack squad consisting of Sova, Neon, Chamber, Breach, Cypher, and Kay/O to deal with the threat posed by this unnamed hacker. The specifics regarding the mission in the training range can be viewed on Breach's board, however, the expedition did not meet their expectations, and they were unable to determine who this enigmatic figure was.
Viper informed Brimstone that the protocol couldn't depend on Sova and Cypher in their communication. This unidentified individual is impossible to locate but possesses all of the Valorant protocol's sensitive information. This implies they're far superior to the other Spy characters in the game when it comes to obtaining information.
The unidentified hacker contacted Brimstone again, after the mission failed, to warn him not to push their patience too far. Later, the hacker warns to reveal personal information about current VALORANT protocol members, suggesting that this is only the starting.
However, personal information on VALORANT agents can later be found strewn across the maps.

Moreover, Brimstone isn't fond of this enigmatic agent, but Viper is fascinated, and given their disdain for the protocol, it'll be interesting to watch how Viper persuades them to allow Agent 20 to join the roster.
