Riot Games has introduced the newest playable agent that will be joining Valorants roster. Named Waylay, the new agent hails from Thailand, and was unveiled during the grand finals of the VCT Masters: Bangkok esports event. Check out the trailers unveiling and showcasing Waylay below.Waylay will be joining the roster of Valorant as part of Act 2 of the games 2025 season, which will be going live on March 5.Her set of abilities revolve around darting around the battlefield thanks to the fact that she can turn into light. The introductory cinematic shows off these capabilities quite well, while the gameplay reveal trailer gives us a look at how her abilities will play out in an actual match.Along with easily flying around the battlefield to take on opponents by flanking them from different directions, the trailer also shows off her ultimate ability, which allows her to avoid even other agents strongest powers.As is the case with all Valorant agents, Waylay will have access to four key abilities: Refract, Light Speed, Saturate, and her ultimate, Convergent Paths.Refract allows Waylay to create a beacon of light on the floor. Players can then instantly travel back to this beacon from anywhere else in the map, all the while being completely invulnerable as they travel.Light Speed gives Waylay her signature burst movement, allowing her to dash forward twice at the speed of light. Players can also dash upwards with the first of the two dashes, and the ability can also alternately be used to dash forwards only once.Saturate acts like Waylays grenade ability, allowing her to throw a cluster of light that explodes when it hits the ground. Enemies caught in this explosion suffer from slowed down movement and weapons.Her ultimate, Convergent Paths, allows Waylay to create an afterimage that projects a beam of light. After a delay, the beam starts expanding as Waylay gets a speed boost, while also hindering opponents acught in the area.Alongside Waylay, the seasonal update will also bring with it the new Cyrax collection, with skins for the Vandal, Ghost, Guardian, Stinger, and Fanblade. The new collection offers players to sport a crystalline look for their weapons of choice. The Cyrax Collection will be available to buy on March 6.The last major addition to Valorants roster was ballistics expert Tejo, who is able to use explosive abilities, as well as a stealth drone, to get control of the battlefield. Tejo was added to Valorants roster as part of the Act 1 of the games 2025 season.Valorant is a free-to-play competitive shooter that is available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game blends the tactical gameplay of titles like Counter-Strike, where even a single headshot could be lethal, with hero shooter mechanics from games like Overwatch, where every playable character has access to their own sets of abilities, giving them all unique edges in battle.For more details, check out our review of the PS5 release of Valorant.
