Anticipation mounts in the VALORANT community as rumors swirl about the game’s upcoming 25th agent—a Controller is all set to join the game soon. Leaks hint at a release later this month, separate from the game's next Act. Speculations abound regarding the agent's debut, possibly coinciding with VCT Masters Madrid.

Recent leaks hint at the imminent introduction of a new Controller agent to the ever-expanding roster of VALORANT characters. According to credible sources like ValorLeaks, known for their insights into the game's developments, this new addition is slated for release later this month. However, fans will need to exercise patience, as the agent won't debut alongside the commencement of the game's next Act but is expected to arrive towards the end of the month.

Speculations suggest that the agent's unveiling might coincide with or follow the VCT Masters Madrid event, scheduled from Thursday, March 14 to Sunday, March 24. Additionally, there's buzz about a potential showmatch featuring content creators and professional players, offering a sneak peek at the capabilities of the upcoming agent, a tradition upheld in previous releases.

Despite the excitement surrounding the impending arrival, details about Agent 25 remain shrouded in mystery. Codenamed "Smokedancer," the agent's possible theme revolving around butterflies hints at intriguing possibilities. As a Controller, their role in manipulating the battlefield dynamics adds an air of anticipation. However, beyond these tidbits, information regarding their design or official moniker remains elusive.

A cryptic teaser from ValorLeaks, teasing, "When dropping smokes takes on a new life," has set the VALORANT community abuzz with speculation. Interpretations range from the prospect of mobile smoke screens traversing the battlefield, promising to revolutionize strategies for site control, angle holding, and tactical surprises.
