Valorant Agent 17 delayed: Riot announce change to Act 3 plans Riot GamesValorant\u2019s next Agent, suspected to be named \u2018Deadeye\u2019, has been delayed for two weeks, as devs reveal they can\u2019t meet quality expectations in time for the Episode 3, Act 3 update. It\u2019s been quite some time since we\u2019ve seen a release of a new Valorant agent. With the last release being KAY\/O with Episode 3 Act 1 in June, players are eagerly awaiting the release of Agent 17. However, a Riot announcement has revealed that the next Valorant agent has been delayed for two more weeks beyond the initial planned release date. Riot\u2019s announcement revealed that the devs have made the decision to delay the release of the agent to ensure quality is of a standard that players would be happy with. \u201cAs development progressed on the new Agent, it was clear to us that they were not at the quality bar you\u2019ve come to expect from us. It\u2019s why we\u2019ve opted to hold the Agent for an additional two weeks, while we work on polishing up those final aspects,\u201d the devs revealed. \u201cOur concern is that gameplay clarity, such as visual cues of what the Agent is doing, was not quite there yet.\u201d We’re delaying the release of our next Agent for two weeks (one patch cycle) after the start of Episode 3 Act III.

Although this delay is a huge blow to the players that desperately want new Valorant content, it isn\u2019t all bad news. We should still expect a slew of new changes with the Episode 3 Act 3 patch, which will of course arrive with a whole new battle pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
