The speculations and leaks can now finally be put to rest as Valorant reveals a new trailer for Episode 2. This beautifully crafted trailer confirmed a number of things that were leaked a few days ago. It seems like the new agent will indeed take on the lurker role that the game desperately needed, and the trailer further showcases a few abilities from his kit.
