Riot Games introduces Hush, new Valorant Duelist

Riot Games officially unveiled Hush, the 31st agent for the tactical shooter Valorant, during the VALORANT Champions 2026 finals in Shanghai. Originating from Guangdong, China, Hush joins the roster as a Duelist focused on precision and telekinetic abilities.

Her kit is designed to provide active spatial control. Her passive ability, Telekinesis, allows her to interact with switches, doors, and collect weapons or the Spike from a distance without exposing herself. Her mobility tool, Flow, allows her to place a spatial anchor to pull herself toward, including a brief levitation mechanic when used mid-jump.

Offensively, Hush utilizes projectiles that can be manipulated mid-flight. Her Flashbulb can be redirected to blind enemies from unexpected angles, and her Displacement ability pulls nearby players toward a central point, causing concussions if they collide with walls or each other. Her ultimate ability, Suspension, allows her to lift affected players into the air.

Hush is the first agent released under the new agent mastery system and is scheduled to become available on October 27, 2026, as part of Season 26, Act VI.
