Valorant’s next agent is Hush, a telekinetic Duelist from China

Riot Games has revealed Hush, the next playable agent coming to Valorant. She’s a telekinetic Duelist from Guangdong, China, and she’s set to join the roster on October 27 with Season 26 Act VI.

Hush was shown during the “RISE AND FALL” cinematic trailer ahead of the VCT Champions 2026 grand final between LOUD and Team Vitality on October 18. The reveal follows Riot’s earlier “FINAL WORD” teaser, which showed her interrogating someone in an alley and floating a knife with her powers.

As a Duelist, Hush is built for aggressive play, but her kit leans heavily on movement and displacement rather than pure entry fragging. Her abilities let her pull enemies together, flash from unusual angles, move herself with an anchor, and even interact with weapons, the Spike, and switches from farther away.

• Telekinesis is her passive, letting Hush pick up weapons and the Spike, plus interact with switches, from increased range.
• Displacement is her signature ability. It can be thrown or prepared, then redirected toward her crosshair. It pulls players into its center and concusses anyone slammed into a surface or another player. It refreshes every two kills.
• Flashbulb works similarly, with a throwable flash that can be redirected before detonating on a surface or after a delay.
• Flow creates an anchor that pulls Hush toward it after a short delay. If used in the air, she briefly levitates before launching forward.
• Suspension, her ultimate, sends out a steerable projectile that detonates to levitate every player caught in the blast.

Riot didn’t run a creator showmatch for Hush before the grand final, which is a bit different from some past agent reveals. That means we’ll likely get a clearer look at how she plays closer to her October 27 release.
