It's a cherished tradition in Valorant to embed hints for upcoming features in current content. 'Sprinter,' the potential next Agent, was first teased via a player card on this act's Battlepass.
The Night Market returns in Episode 3, aligning with the leaked Agent 18, codenamed Sprinter. Datamined strings confirmed its development.
Episode 3 Act 3 of Valorant: Reflection has launched with two new skin bundles and a fresh Agent. ValorLeaks' Mike recently noted an updated market banner, signaling the Night Market's imminent return.
This surprise monthly store event generates massive buzz, offering randomized discounts on six weapon skins or knives from various collections—beyond daily offers and bundles.
The banner artwork features electric arcs, suggesting electricity-based abilities for the new Agent. Expect this addition with Episode 4's launch alongside Patch 3.0 balance changes, promising more depth than anticipated.
