What does Episode 4 Act 3 have in store?

With Valorant Episode 4 Act 3 being just around the corner, fans of the competitive shooter throughout the world are growing excited to know more about the new Agent – ‘Fade’. The developers have already revealed that Fade is set to be “a competitor to Sova” that can potentially outshine him in some aspects.

If you’re looking to know the release date and time of the new Agent Fade, we have you covered. With the first trailer of Fade already being dropped by Riot Games, here’s everything you need to know about the release of the upcoming Valorant initiator. 

Fade will be an initiator in Valorant who’ll be able to scout out opponents, mark them with trails, and hunt them down with her Prowlers.

“Fade brings recon to a personal level, more potent in a localized area (doesn’t have mapwide potential like Sova),” Valorant dev Nicholas Smith said. “We wanted to keep the player close to the action and always in-body.”

With an press release acquired by TalkEsport, we confirmed the arrival of the long-awaited second iteration in the RGX 11Z Pro Skin Bundle.

Available at a total price of 8700 Valorant Points, the bundle will now feature a different set of weapons including the Phantom and a whole different Melee dubbed as the “firefly” themed as the Butterfly knife.
