Valorant's Agent 31, Hush: Leaks, Role, Abilities and Release Date

Agent 31 is next in line, and Champions Shanghai will host her official reveal on October 17, 2026. This white-haired female Duelist reportedly comes from China, with a launch expected in late October or early November. Reveal timing, release window, the complete leaked kit, design hints and lore connections are gathered below. Follow WISHGM as we unpack every confirmed detail and leak surrounding Valorant's newest agent.

Confirmed vs. Leaked: Quick Facts on the Hush Agent

Riot's confirmations so far cover just her appearance and the timing of her arrival after Champions. Every part of her kit, meanwhile, is still drawn from leaks.

Valorant Hush Agent: Reveal Time and Release Date

A leaked event schedule pins the reveal to October 17, 2026, as part of an exclusive showmatch. That puts it one day ahead of the Champions Shanghai grand final on October 18. If you’re tracking the event, the Champions 2026 skins are worth checking too. The schedule also gives the reveal a 2:00 PM slot.

The reveal and the release do not happen on the same date. Riot tends to unveil an agent at a major final, then push her live in a patch shortly afterward. Miks took that exact path after the Masters Santiago final earlier this year. If that pattern holds, Agent 31 should reach live servers one to three weeks after the reveal.

Teaser and Leak Timeline in Full

Hush Agent Abilities in Valorant: The Full Leaked Kit

A complete kit appeared online on October 14. Because Riot has not confirmed any of it, each line should be viewed as a rumour.

Do the Leaks Add Up?

Several different leaks back up various parts of the kit, and that overlap makes the whole thing easier to believe.

1. Wall dash: An earlier dataminer described a dash unlike any current one. Charged Roll matches that claim.
2. Copy ability: Multiple leakers reported she can copy a dead teammate's signature. Secondary Projection fits this closely.
3. Gravity ultimate: A separate leak described an ultimate that launches enemies into the air. That matches Star Burst.
4. Grenade token: The grenade shown at the café likely represents the Range Trigger cannon.

A single conflict still stands. The ghosts were called her signature ability in an earlier leak, yet the complete kit gives that slot to Charged Roll. Perhaps the ghosts are just how her copy ability looks. As for her wall dash, thin-walled maps will be where it performs best—watch the leaked map pool when her launch Act arrives.

Hush in Valorant: Role of the Ninth Duelist

Should the leaks prove accurate, the ninth Duelist slot is hers. A lot of players had an Initiator in mind—the last Hush agent in that role arrived with Tejo in January 2025. Riot, however, has shattered role patterns in the past.

Team utility is rare on a Duelist, and her rumoured kit brings it anyway. Allies benefit from the nearsight mist and the signatures she copies—not just Hush herself. That fits Riot's recent direction with team-focused agents such as Miks. Would you rather lock her in on day one than grind XP? A quick before launch can have your 1,000 VP ready. WISHGM is the best platform for making that top-up: players can top up for less there, and it makes for a great money-saving option.

Hush Agent Design: Teasers and Clues from the Pop-Up Café

October 13 to 18 are the dates for the Shanghai pop-up café. Visitors were promised the first "classified intel" on her by Riot, and the displays came through.

1. Two small ghosts: One pink and one white, which seem central to her identity.
2. Grenade-like token: Likely tied to her thrown cannon ability.
3. Eight-sided die: One dataminer claims this represents an actual ability.
4. Old Chinese coin: Appears as a standalone display, so its purpose is still unclear.
5. Glove with a wavy pattern: The pattern usually points to the Interverse in the game's lore.
6. Green crystal and pendant: Her necklace has a green orb, which some link to Sage.

According to reports, the voice lines at the café have a Cantonese accent, which suggests Guangdong province. That would make her the third Chinese agent, following Sage and Iso. A new agent launch is often paired with fresh store content by Riot, and the POPMONZ bundle is already set for the new Act.

Hush Agent Lore: Connections to Summit and Omega Earth

On the Summit map, players have discovered a younger version of her. That image shows a white-uniformed student clutching the same pair of ghosts. A common belief is that it depicts her training at Sage's academy in years past.

Another layer comes from her second teaser. Behind her stands a poster that seems to bear the Atlas logo, an Omega Earth organisation. Pair that with her two Earth-based ultimates, and she could be connected to the Alpha versus Omega plot that continues to unfold.

How to get the Hush agent

For new agents, Riot has a standard system, and unlocking should follow it.

1. Free route: Earn 200,000 XP during the 28-day Agent Recruitment Event.
2. Paid route: Buy her for 1,000 VP once she goes live.
3. Note: Kingdom Credits and Free Agent Tokens normally stay disabled during the recruitment event.

Still need older agents? Before her patch arrives, unlock them with Kingdom Credits. And if a cosmetic such as the Galleria 2.0 bundle caught your eye, set aside some VP for it.

Conclusion

Among Riot's boldest Duelist designs to date, Agent 31 looks set to be a standout. Copied teammate signatures, a dash that passes through walls and ultimates that change by side would make her stand out from everyone else in the roster. As things stand, her look and post-Champions timing are the only official details. Her name, trailer and confirmed kit are expected on October 17, with a release not long after. This page will be updated once Riot releases all the details for the Valorant Hush agent.
