Valorant Agent Fade - Abilities and release date

Update: Riot has officially unveiled gameplay of Fade. Check it out down below.

Original story:

Following an incredible match between OpTic and LOUD in the Valorant Masters grand finals, Riot Games revealed everything fans can expect from Fade, the latest Valorant Agent.

Previously known as "Bounty Hunter," Fade will bring tools to zone out enemies from entering a site, as well as disrupt defensive setups during your attacking rounds.

Fade Valorant Agent - All abilities

As we've mentioned, Fade has been categorised as an initiator. If you're new to Valorant, initiators should set their teams for success.

According to designer Nicholas Smith, Fade was conceived as a more close-ranged Sova Agent. "We wanted to keep the player close to the action and always in-body, So that meant no posessible utility or different states of being (i.e., Drone/Wolf/Astral Form). Also wanted to have a recont character that was less relian on line-ups."

Fade like others in her role will look to create advantages by taking space with ability usage, pushing enemies out of sites to force a retake. 

Take a look at the full set of abilities down below:

Seize (Q)
