Riot has released the details on the next Episode, which will run from January 12 to March 1. The new episode will introduce a new character (Yoru), patch 2.0, and a skin bundle called Run-It-Back, which includes some fan-favourite skins from the first Valorant Episode.
The latest agent to be added, Yoru, is Valorant’s 5th duelist, which means, if you really wanted to, you can now have a full team of duelists. Yoru specialises in misdirection and can teleport for short distances, blind his opponents with a flash, mimic footsteps and turn himself invisible. You can check out all the information for his abilities below.
