Riot Games VALORANT agent Hush reveal and release

Overview

Riot Games introduced Hush, the 31st agent for the tactical shooter VALORANT, during the VALORANT Champions 2026 event in Shanghai. A Duelist from Guangdong, China, Hush features a cyberpunk neon aesthetic with a pink and purple color palette and a kit centered on telekinetic abilities.

Her kit is designed for active spatial control. Her passive ability, ‘Telekinesis’, allows her to interact with environmental objects—such as switches, doors, or the Spike—from a distance. Her mobility tool, ‘Flow’, enables her to place a spatial anchor to pull herself toward, including a brief levitation mechanic when used mid-jump. Offensive abilities include ‘Flashbulb’, which can be redirected to blind enemies, and ‘Displacement’, which pulls players toward a central point to cause concussions. Her ultimate ability, ‘Suspension’, lifts players into the air.

Hush was released on October 27, 2026, as part of Season 26, Act VI, via patch 13.09. She is the first agent released under a new agent mastery system and is the ninth Duelist in the game. The patch accompanying her release also introduced a new categorization for buff abilities into ‘Haste’ and ‘Snapshot’, alongside balance adjustments for agents including Clove, Jett, Brimstone, Neon, and others.
