Riot Games reveals Hush, a telekinetic Duelist, as Valorant's next agent
The agent from Guangdong, China, will join the roster on October 27 and becomes the game's ninth Duelist.
Riot Games unveiled Hush as Valorant's next agent, a telekinetic Duelist from Guangdong, China, during the grand final of VCT Champions 2026 in Shanghai.
She will be playable when she joins the roster on October 27, becoming the game's ninth Duelist and the 30th agent overall.
Her full kit was revealed, showing a passive called Telekinesis that lets Hush pick up weapons and the Spike and interact with switches from an increased range.
Her signature ability, Displacement (E), can be thrown or prepped and then reactivated to send it toward her crosshair, exploding on impact to pull players to its center and concuss anyone pulled into a surface or another player.
It also refreshes every two kills.
Flashbulb (Q) operates similarly, as it can be thrown, prepped and redirected before exploding on a surface or after a delay to flash nearby players.
For movement, Flow (C) instantly creates an anchor that Hush propels herself toward after a short delay, and if used in the air, she will briefly levitate in place before taking off.
Her ultimate, Suspension (X), is prepared instantly and sent forward for Hush to steer with her crosshair, and reactivating it or firing again detonates it, levitating every player caught in the blast.
Riot showed a cinematic trailer for the agent, set to the original song "It's You" performed by Karencici, ahead of the grand final between LOUD and Team Vitality.
The official Valorant account posted the video with the caption "Shh... Hush is here."
In the trailer, Hush, who sports striking, long white hair with soft pink and purple undertones, sharp blunt bangs, and piercing pink eyes that glow brightly when she uses her powers, confronts a gang in a neon-lit restaurant.
She exudes an effortlessly cool, nonchalant vibe, even pausing mid-brawl to casually answer a phone call from her mom on a floating smartphone.
Hush speaks Cantonese in the trailer, a language with deep roots in Guangdong.
Her real name, age, job, and backstory are still unknown, and Riot has not shared any story links between Hush and other Chinese agents Sage and Iso.
She is the second new agent of 2026 after the Controller Miks.
Players can unlock Hush by earning 200,000 XP during her recruitment event, and once it ends, for 10,000 Kingdom Credits or 1,000 VP.
Her release is set for October 27 in the Americas and October 28 in all other regions.
Earlier leaks had claimed the agent would be able to copy allies' abilities and have an ultimate that changed based on attacking or defending, but neither claim was true.
Redington Cybersport reported in October that a leaked teaser for an unannounced agent had sparked fan speculation.
