VALORANT Episode 9 New Agent Leaked!

VALORANT's new season battle pass includes a card called In Bloom. The card features a flower made of silver and purple colors, surrounded by vines.

This new visual also ties into the latest trailer released for the new episode; the video ends with a scene of broken electronics, one of Jett's knives, and a Phantom, followed by some metallic-looking vines crawling across the ground. However, what connection these vines might have to a possible agent reveal is unknown for now.

There's strong speculation that this upcoming new agent could be a Radiant user who can use the power of vines and thorns to suppress or lock down an enemy. Since we recently got a new Duelist and a new Controller in the game's latest releases, this could also be a Sentinel agent.

The released trailers may also tie into the latest hints about a new character in the VALORANT universe found on the new Abyss map. This character has only been seen behind the frosted glass of an hourglass-shaped prison and is recognizable by its sharp, claw-like fingers. Looks like we'll just have to wait to learn the rest in time!

When Will VALORANT SilverThumb Arrive?

For now, it's hard to say when this agent, who appeared on VALORANT's In Bloom card, might arrive. But as with every new agent, Riot Games will likely keep releasing more teasers and hints about this one too.
