Valorant Hush Agent (Agent 31) - Release Date, Abilities, Role and Leaks

The next agent, known as Agent 31, gets her official reveal on October 17, 2026, at Champions Shanghai. She is a white-haired female Duelist, reportedly from China, and should go live in late October or early November. Below, you will find her reveal time, release window, full leaked kit, design clues and lore links in one place. Let’s follow LDShop and break down every confirmed detail and leak about the newest agent coming to Valorant.

 

Hush agent Quick Facts: Confirmed vs Leaked

Riot has confirmed only her look and the fact that she arrives after Champions. Everything about her kit still comes from leaks.

 

Valorant Hush agent Release Date and Reveal Time

A leaked event schedule places the reveal on October 17, 2026, during an exclusive showmatch. That falls one day before the Champions Shanghai grand final on October 18. If you are following the event, the Champions 2026 skins are also worth a look. The same schedule lists a 2:00 PM slot for the reveal.

The reveal and the release are two separate dates. Riot usually reveals an agent at a major final and ships her in a patch a little later. Miks followed this exact route after the Masters Santiago final earlier this year. Based on that pattern, Agent 31 should hit live servers one to three weeks after the reveal.

Valorant Hush agent Abilities: Full Leaked Kit

A complete kit surfaced on October 14. Riot has not confirmed it, so treat every line as a rumour.

Ability	Slot	Reported Effect
Double Life	Passive	Grants a different ability on attack and on defense
Range Trigger	Basic	Throws a pressurised cannon that sticks to surfaces and releases a thin mist; enemies passing through get nearsighted
Secondary Projection	Basic	Copies an ally's signature ability; alt fire pulls it from a downed ally instead; lost at round end
Charged Roll	Signature	Dashes through a compatible wall, then rolls in your movement direction
Ground Rules	Ultimate (Alpha Earth)	A four-pointed star creates a gravity field that pushes enemies to the edge and slows them; the star can be destroyed early
Star Burst	Ultimate (Omega Earth)	A condensed star creates an anti-gravity field that lifts enemies, then detonates for damage

 

How Well Do the Leaks Line Up?

Several separate leaks support parts of this kit, which makes it more believable.

• Wall dash: An earlier dataminer described a dash unlike any current one. Charged Roll matches that claim.
• Copy ability: Multiple leakers reported she can copy a dead teammate's signature. Secondary Projection fits this closely.
• Gravity ultimate: A separate leak described an ultimate that launches enemies into the air. That matches Star Burst.
• Grenade token: The grenade shown at the café likely represents the Range Trigger cannon.

One conflict remains. An earlier leak named the ghosts as her signature ability. The full kit lists Charged Roll in that slot instead. The ghosts may simply be the visual style of her copy ability. Her wall dash will shine most on maps with thin walls, so keep an eye on the leaked map pool for her launch Act.

 

Valorant Hush agent Role: Ninth Duelist

If the leaks hold, she becomes the ninth Duelist. Many players expected an Initiator, since that role last got a Hush agent with Tejo in January 2025. Riot has broken role patterns before, though.

Current Duelist	Origin
Phoenix	England
Jett	South Korea
Reyna	Mexico
Raze	Brazil
Yoru	Japan
Neon	Philippines
Iso	China
Waylay	Thailand

Her rumoured kit also adds rare team utility for a Duelist. The nearsight mist and copied signatures help allies, not just her. That matches Riot's recent push toward team-focused agents like Miks. If you want to lock her in on day one instead of grinding XP, a quick Valorant top up before launch gets your 1,000 VP ready. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

 

Hush agent Design, Teasers and Pop-Up Café Clues

The Shanghai pop-up café runs from October 13 to 18. Riot promised visitors the first "classified intel" on her, and the displays delivered.

• Two small ghosts: One pink and one white, which seem central to her identity.
• Grenade-like token: Likely tied to her thrown cannon ability.
• Eight-sided die: One dataminer claims this represents an actual ability.
• Old Chinese coin: Appears as a standalone display, so its purpose is still unclear.
• Glove with a wavy pattern: The pattern usually points to the Interverse in the game's lore.
• Green crystal and pendant: Her necklace has a green orb, which some link to Sage.

Voice lines heard at the café reportedly carry a Cantonese accent. That points to Guangdong province. She would become the third agent from China, after Sage and Iso. Riot often pairs an agent launch with fresh store content, and the POPMONZ bundle is already lined up for the new Act.

 

Hush agent Lore: Summit and Omega Earth Links

Players found her younger self on the Summit map. An image there shows a student in a white uniform holding the same two ghosts. Many believe it shows her training at Sage's academy years ago.

Her second teaser adds another layer. A poster behind her appears to carry the Atlas logo, an Omega Earth organisation. Combined with her two Earth-based ultimates, she may tie into the ongoing Alpha versus Omega storyline.

 

How to Unlock the Hush agent

Unlocking should follow Riot's standard system for new agents.

• Free route: Earn 200,000 XP during the 28-day Agent Recruitment Event.
• Paid route: Buy her for 1,000 VP once she goes live.
• Note: Kingdom Credits and Free Agent Tokens normally stay disabled during the recruitment event.

If you still need older agents, unlock them with Kingdom Credits before her patch arrives. Also, set aside some VP for cosmetics like the Galleria 2.0 bundle if it caught your eye.

 

Conclusion

Agent 31 looks set to be one of Riot's boldest Duelist designs yet. A wall-passing dash, copied teammate signatures and side-based ultimates would make her unlike anyone in the roster. Right now, only her look and post-Champions timing are official. Expect her name, trailer and confirmed kit on October 17, with a release shortly after. We will update this page as soon as Riot shares the full details of the Valorant Hush agent.
