Valorant is Riot’s 5v5 hero tactical-fps. As the game’s genre suggests, a big part of Valorant’s gameplay are the agents. There are currently a total of 22 agents in Valorant. The latest agent Deadlock was released four months ago on June 27th, 2023.

Earlier this year, Riot announced three agents for the year, the first was Gekko, the second was Deadlock and the third is currently in the final stages of development. The official Valorant Twitter/X has teased the agent for a while now.

The name and the image for the Valorant agent 24 leaked via multiple sources in the previous week. With a lot of data already leaked, Riot decided to officially release the trailer for the agent.

The trailer follows the aftermath of the Sunset trailer explosion. An ex-Kingdom scientist ventures into the explosion to collect the leftover research samples she worked on. ISO is introduced in the trailer as an assassin targeting the rogue Kingdom scientist.

According to the conversation in the trailer, Iso is a ‘bulletproof wizard’ who can take out his enemies with a single round. He is known as the 'Dead Lilac, for the purple flash you see before you die’. The trailer ends with Iso shooting at the rogue Kingdom scientist’s group.

ISO, recruited by Cypher, is the 23rd agent to join the Valorant protocol. The seventh duelist is of Chinese origin. His kit revolves around kills which get him an extra shield, with his ultimate setting up a dueling arena between ISO and one of the enemies.

When will Valorant agent ISO release?

Riot will release ISO on 1st November 2023 along with Episode VII Act 3.

Stay tuned on Strafe for more details on the agent's abilities and ability guide.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
