Riot Games has teased a mysterious new Valorant agent with a Spanish countdown and blurry clips on their official X handle.
Riot Games has sparked curiosity among Valorant players with cryptic teasers hinting at a new agent from a Spanish-speaking region. The official Valorant X (formerly Twitter) handle has been sharing intriguing clues, including a countdown in Spanish and blurred video snippets.
Blurry Teasers with a Countdown
The teasers began with the word "CUATRO" (four), accompanied by a short, blurry video showing a small mechanical object moving swiftly. Fans speculate it could be linked to the new agent's abilities, possibly a drone-based recon tool similar to Sova’s owl drone. The second teaser followed with "TRES" (three), maintaining the mysterious theme with no further clarity on the agent’s role or abilities.
New Agent Leaks Suggest a Recon Initiator
The rumored name of the new agent is Tejo, and it would specialize in reconnaissance. Several teasers released with the color palettes and mechanical bits have led many to believe that Tejo could be an initiator focused on intel gathering. Some players have guessed and mentioned that Tejo's potential drone ability might add a twist to information play in Valorant, which would give the already brilliant concept a new dimension relating to Sova's playstyle.

The teasers have stirred speculation all around the community, as fans continue to argue and debate whether Tejo would be a recon specialist or something entirely new when it comes to gameplay mechanics. Some players think that the mechanical drone design might provide a twister on Sova's vision, while others conjecture that Riot may mislead with the visuals.
