Valorant Hush Release Date
Hush is VALORANT's 30th agent — a Chinese-origin Duelist revealed in the "Rise and Fall" cinematic at the Champions Shanghai Grand Final on October 18, 2026.
Agent #30 · Duelist
Revealed Oct 18, 2026
Season 26 Act VI
Release date: reported as October 27, 2026 (local time) per the Champions Shanghai reveal. Riot only confirmed "Season 26 Act VI" publicly — and the last two agents (Veto, Miks) both went live two days after their reveal on a Tuesday, which would point to Oct 20. Either way: Hush lands before the act ends.
