Valorant is adding a new Agent, Deathmatch mode and more this week

Valorant Act II will launch on August 4, Riot Games has confirmed.

The headline addition to Act II is new Agent Killjoy, a tech specialist who can deploy a bot that hunts down enemies and a turret that attacks opponents within its 180 degree cone.

Her ultimate ability, Lockdown, traps all enemies caught in its radius for about eight seconds.

A new battle pass costing 1,000 Valorant points ($10) will be available beginning on August 4, as well as the new Glitchpop weapon skins showcased in the video below.

And a new free for all Deathmatch mode will launch in beta mode on August 5 ahead of its permanent inclusion following a period of testing.

It will see 10 players competing to reach 30 kills or the most within a time limit. Players can buy any gun and will spawn with heavy armor following a three-second delay.

Valorant Episode 1: Ignition went live on June 2 with a launch day patch which introduced a new agent, map and mode to the tactical FPS.

Executive producer Anna Donlon said in June that Riot is exploring the possibility of bringing Valorant to consoles.
