VALORANT Reveals Hush: Official Trailer, Reported Kit and Release Status

Hush is VALORANT’s next Duelist. Riot Games revealed the agent on October 18, 2026, with the official RISE AND FALL trailer. Its Game Updates listing places her arrival in Season 26 // ACT VI.

Release status: Riot confirms the act, while THESPIKE reports October 27. The primary announcement checked for this story does not specify an exact unlock day, hour or regional rollout.

Watch Hush’s official reveal trailer

The video above comes from the official VALORANT channel, linked directly by Riot. The accompanying artwork shows Hush with white hair, violet eyes and a weapon raised toward the viewer. It identifies the new character; it cannot establish ability ranges, damage or how her kit will function in a live match.

Hush’s reported abilities

THESPIKE’s October 18 breakdown describes a kit built around telekinesis, guided utility and movement. The following is a summary of that reporting, rather than an independently verified Riot ability sheet.

These descriptions explain the reported concept without promising specific costs, distances, durations or competitive strength. Earlier circulating ability names are not part of the kit described in this source and should not be treated as confirmed mechanics.

Does Act VI mean Hush is already playable?

Riot’s Patch Notes 13.08, dated October 13, say Act VI has started. That establishes the season’s timing, but does not establish Hush’s individual unlock date. An agent reveal and an act beginning are separate events.

THESPIKE’s October 27 date therefore remains a reported date, not a verified worldwide appointment. No exact server-by-server unlock timetable was established from the primary material checked here. Players looking for a precise start should follow Riot’s subsequent patch or agent announcement rather than infer it from the act label.

The reveal accompanied the Champions Shanghai weekend. For the competition’s outcome, see our separate report on LOUD’s 3–1 grand-final win over Team Vitality. More game announcements are collected in Gaming.
