With abilities that punish over-aggression and create moments for self-capitalization, Vyse adds a deadly mix of strategy and firepower to any team composition.

She’s here to shake up the meta with a unique playstyle that balances defense with clever offensive potential—this Sentinel is no passive bystander, and she’s ready to swing the tide of battle in thrilling new ways.

Valorant’s newest agent, Vyse, brings a fresh twist to the Sentinel role, challenging how players approach space control and aggression.

Designed to counter reckless duelists who dive into the action without a second thought, Vyse traps enemies like prey in a web. Her toolkit is about separating opponents from their teammates, then delivering a devastating blow once isolated.

Vyse release date

The new sentinel agent’s release date is on August 28, 2024.

In Valorant, new agents are unlocked through the Progression System introduced in Episode 7.

To unlock a new agent, players must participate in the 28-day event tied to the agent’s release and earn enough XP during the event period. Vyse can be unlocked when Episode 9 Act 2 launches.

If players want to unlock past agents, they can purchase them from the in-game store for 1,000 VP or 8,000 Kingdom Points.
