It's only been a matter of days since the robots rose against Riot Games, with KAY/O being sent on a cyborg crusade to take over VALORANT, one measly agent at a time.

With one of the most useful abilities to be added to the game yet, KAY/O has made an electric start to life in VALORANT, and seems to be set to be a crucial component of every team composition.

However, players are already eyeing who's going to take him down - and where.

After Riot showcased a brand-new map to come to VALORANT, some eagle-eyed fans have noticed a possible agent lurking in the background.

What Is The New VALORANT Map?

Whilst showing us what's to come in Episode 3: Reflection, the developers instantly teased a new map, Watch. 

Whilst the details on the new map are few and far between, early glances at Watch make it appear to be similar to Bind, with a rustic dirt-like surrounding accommodating a metallic compound - perfect for sounding out the clanking footsteps up approaching robots.

How Was The VALORANT Map Leaked?

It's often the norm for developers to throw in a few cheeky hints at upcoming content in subtle ways, and one profile has popped up in the new trailer.

Named as "Deadeye", the leaked VALORANT agent appears to be a sleek and mysterious hitman, likened to Midas in Fortnite.

The leaked VALORANT agent also appears to be displayed on the walls of one of the protagonists of the trailers, further hinting towards him being idolised in-game.

When the new VALORANT map and leaked agent will come into play is also yet to be seen, although it's comforting to know that Riot are already two steps ahead on ramping up their future content.
