Riot Games Leaks Valorant Agent 25's Name: Clove
As Valorant continues to evolve, with new content boosting the game’s landscape on a weekly basis, Riot Games has tantalized players with subtle hints and cryptic clues surrounding the enigmatic Agent 25. Following the latest patch 8.04, a mysterious email surfaced within Brimstone's office, shedding light on the upcoming addition to the Valorant Protocol. After much speculation and a lot of puzzle solving, Valorant’s Agent 25 name has been confirmed. Introducing Clove, the next agent in the first-person shooter, named after the German version of the FPS.
Speculation about Agent 25's identity has been brewing within the gaming community, with industry insiders dropping intriguing hints. ChowZ posted an acrostic poem on X, offering a cryptic glimpse into Clove's characteristics. The official Valorant tweet featured the poem, unraveling details about this elusive agent:
"Cloaked in a pink jacket, she flits through the fray.
Look like a Scotland's girl with a mischievous grin.
One moment she dies, the next she's alive.
Vanishing in a flash, a phantom in the chase
Ever the strategist, CONTROL is her domain."
This revelation places Clove within the Controller category, aligning her abilities with strategic elements akin to Omen. The last Controller introduced by Riot Games was Harbor in October 2022, and Valorant has been in dire need of more options for this class. With Clove ready to join the roster, Valorant will boast a total of six Controller Agents.
On the training grounds, keen-eyed players often uncover hints about upcoming agents or new maps through voicemails and emails addressed to Brimstone. The latest email from Deadlock alludes to the new recruit, presumably Agent 25, but remains discreet about the agent's identity.
Noteworthy is the use of the pronoun "they" when referencing this character, hinting at potential non-gendered representation, a groundbreaking move if confirmed. The English version of Deadlock's email supports this hypothesis by employing the pronoun "they."
Interestingly, the German version of the email takes a different turn, as there is no pronoun but a noun. The German text reads, "Omen delivered Clove, as promised," leaving little room for speculation. The name "Clove" for Agent 25 appears to be confirmed once and for all, whether through an accidental slip or a deliberate omission. |
This is not the first time Riot Games has inadvertently shared information. In the lead-up to Iso's reveal, the studio pre-published a YouTube thumbnail that prematurely disclosed the agent's identity. More recently, the name of Valorant's new sniper was inadvertently revealed through an image description.
As anticipation builds for Clove's full presentation during the Masters Madrid final, Riot Games continues to scatter breadcrumbs, notably on maps like Breeze and Sunset. Questions abound: Could Agent 25 traverse multiple universes like Astra? Does this connect to Omega Earth and Alpha Earth? We can’t wait to find out what Clove will have in store for us.
While Clove's abilities and backstory remain shrouded in mystery, one certainty emerges: the repeated mention of "CLOVE" is more than a mere coincidence. As we await the unveiling during the VCT Masters Madrid final, we'll keep you updated. Stay tuned for more leaks and news from the ever-growing Valorant universe.
