When Does Iso Release Valorant

Who is Valorant’s new Agent 24, Iso? Here is everything we know from his release date, abilities, origin, and previous teasers we’ve been given.

Right at the start of Episode 7, after the release of Gekko, Riot revealed that players could expect two new agents and a map to be released before the end of 2023. So far, one of those two Agents, Deadlock, and the map, Sunset, are already live on servers.

Now, the second Agent from that bundle has been revealed after weeks of teasers on social media and in the game itself. The new stone-cold killer to the Valorant lineup had his cinematic trailer drop on October 19, along with his abilities and what they do.

Here is everything we know about Valorant Agent 24, Iso.

Valorant Agent 24: Iso

Riot has revealed their latest Duelist as Iso who is from China. He will be the seventh Duelist to enter the Valorant Agent list. In their Episode 7 teaser, Character Producer for Valorant John Goscicki initially revealed his Agent class, and also the team’s vision for the character.

In a dev blog post, he teased the agent would focus on gunplay, saying, “At its core, Valorant is a team-based Tac Shooter where gunplay shines. For some of you, that means aspiring to plow through enemies like Jinggg and putting in hours in clicking those orbs with aim trainers for that clean 5k.”

He also teased that the Agent will have a twist that some people “never thought would make it into Valorant” that should delight players.

Valorant Iso: Abilities

Iso’s abilities involve fighting and are very different from other Duelists in the game. Players running him will use his abilities to find 1-on-1 fights and take advantage of doing damage to enemies. He is also the first Agent to have some kind of shield ability.

Contingency (C): Equip to assemble prismatic energy. Fire to push an indestructible wall of energy forward that blocks bullets.

Undercut (Q): Equip a molecular bolt. Fire to throw it forward, applying a brief FRAGILE to all players it touches. The bolt can pass through solid objects, including walls.

Double Tap (E): Start a focus timer. Once completed, enter a flow state during which downed enemies you kill or damage generate an energy orb. Shooting this orb grants you a shield that absorbs one instance of damage from any source.

Kill Contract (X): Equip an interdimensional arena. Fire to hurl a column of energy through the battlefield, pulling you and the first enemy hit into the arena. You and your opponent duel to the death.

Valorant Iso: Do we have a release window?

According to his announcement trailer, Iso will be released along with the start of Valorant Episode 7 Act III on October 31, 2023.

The developers teased that the Agent would be released before the end of 2023 but did not give out a solid date until recently.

Valorant Iso: Teasers

The devs gave players several teasers leading up to Iso’s announcement. The dev blog posted a picture of a Chinese hotpot with duck blood, a Chinese delicacy, back in September which many players took to mean Agent 24 could be Chinese. Riot later confirmed this in his release trailer.

This would also coincide with the recent official release of Valorant in China.

Some also speculated the agent could be from Singapore, as Singapore has deep connections to Chinese cuisine, and Jinggg, a Singaporean player for the team Paper Rex, was mentioned in the dev blog.

Another teaser was also added into Sunset, as a glowing purple circle could be briefly seen in the Defender spawn area. It also looks similar to the leaked “Bulletproof” Player Card.

On October 16, the Valorant Twitter account posted a short teaser video of the new agent, a bullet shooting through a range target.
