Valorant’s upcoming Agent 21 has finally been revealed to be named Harbor. Expected to make its debut in Act 3 of Episode 5, Harbor’s arrival has been eagerly anticipated by fans, with teasers dropping both in-game and on Riot’s social media platforms.

As for Harbor’s release date, it’s likely to coincide with the next Act update, Episode 5 Act 3, which is slated for release on October 18th, 2022.

In terms of gameplay, Harbor is anticipated to be the next Controller Agent, joining the ranks of Duelists, Initiators, and Sentinels. With hints from teaser images and language like “blue ocean of opportunity” and “We’ve let this soak long enough,” it’s strongly suggested that Harbor will have water-themed abilities. These could include summoning walls of water to block off sites and deflect projectiles, akin to Astra’s Ultimate.

A teaser on Valorant’s Twitter account seems to hint at Harbor’s signature ability, potentially called “Bubble,” showcasing a device deployed from a motorbike. This aligns with the water-themed speculation, further reinforced by a newly released trailer displaying Harbor’s abilities in cinematic style.

Previously, dataminers discovered that the internal production name for the next Agent was “Mage,” and Patch 5.03 added an in-game email in the Range’s basement, teasing Harbor’s arrival. Additionally, a State of the Agents post by Riot featured an image and the phrase “Jald hi milte hain,” hinting at Harbor’s imminent arrival. It’s now confirmed that Harbor’s name is Varun Batra, with ties to Hinduism, specifically the deity controlling the ocean.
