VALORANT has 30 playable agents as of October 30, 2026, according to an article updated that day. The roster includes 9 Duelists, 7 Initiators, 7 Controllers and 7 Sentinels.
Hush, a Duelist, is the newest agent. The source says Riot added Hush on October 27 with patch 13.09.
Eleven agents were available at launch on June 2, 2020. Riot has added 19 agents since then. The article says the pace has slowed. It notes that four agents arrived in 2021 alone, and that since 2024 most gaps between releases have run four to seven months. The 56 days between Tejo and Waylay are an exception.
Hush is the first Duelist added since Waylay in March 2025. The article says the Initiator role has waited longest, since Tejo arrived in January 2025, and Veto, Miks and Hush have arrived after him.
The article states that its roster and role data come from Riot's agent data as served by valorant-api.com. It says release dates are US announcement dates, checked against Strafe's release list and, for 2020 to 2022, Dot Esports. It adds that Riot's data feed records Tejo and Miks one day later because it uses UTC. The article says Killjoy's exact release day in August 2020 was not confirmed, so its table gives only the month.
