Valorant Vyse release date

The release date for Vyse in Valorant is August 28th. She is agent 26, and she looks absolutely fantastic. As a Sentinel, she adds to the current class roster that includes Killjoy, Cypher, Sage, Chamber, and Deadlock.

Valorant Game Designer, Kevin Meier, has said “For Vyse, we wanted to create a Sentinel that had a solution to space taking duelists in a way that wasn’t primarily stall-oriented”. She “has a lot of flexibility in setups, but lacks some of the information tools that the current meta sentinels bring to the table”.

Meier expects “her to be great at anchoring space and holding out versus multiple enemies,” and the game designer has explained, “Her flash is more effective when pre-placed, so there is some shot-calling players must make at the start of a round for how they want to hold an area”.

All of the above abilities, rewards, and release date come courtesy of a press release from Riot Games. To stay up to date with the game, make sure to follow the officialValorant Twitteraccount.
