Riot Games is about to shake up Valorant in a big way with Neon, the electrifying new speed demon agent.
The official announcement for Neon came Wednesday with a dazzling trailer that already has fans stoked beyond measure. While Riot Games has yet to outline Neon’s abilities, we can glean some details from the trailer. She appears to have a dash-slide ability similar to how movement works in Apex Legends. Furthermore, Neon has a double smoke wall, which will undoubtedly come in handy while breaching choke points.
Check out the Neon reveal trailer for yourself below. Personally, Neon’s character design and toolkit look interesting enough to get me playing Valorant again.

Additional details regarding Neon are sure to drop soon, as the current season of Valorant ends on Jan. 10, so information on the following competitive arc can’t be far off at all.
It might be a bit soon to call Valorant one of the best first-person shooters of all time, but it’s getting there. Heck, most esports pros think calling anyone the best player is even a little too soon. However, with how monstrously huge the game is getting, it shouldn’t be long until it’s heralded as one of the greats.
