Neon made her debut in a brief promotional trailer during Riot Games' Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) in early December. Speaking in Tagalog to her mother, she hinted at her Filipino roots, captivating fans and fueling voice actor theories.
This glimpse showcased her energetic voice, prompting comparisons across the current roster of 18 agents, each brought to life by talented voice performers delivering versatility and depth.
Leading the speculation is Ylona Jade Garcia, an Australian-Filipino singer, actress, and TV personality. She gained fame as first runner-up on ABS-CBN's Pinoy Big Brother in 2015.
Garcia's new single, "Entertain Me," released under 88rising and Paradise Rising, aligns perfectly with Neon's launch. Produced by DNA and co-written by Garcia, David Musumeci, and Antonio Egizii, it's featured in Neon's official agent trailer.
A teased voice line captures her playful vibe: "Hey, I just landed, and I forgot to bring uh squish squish and uh, wait, no. It doesn't matter. It's right here in my bag. Anyway, I already miss you. Sige nay, bye, bye."
Neon arrives alongside balance changes in Valorant Patch 3.0, promising fresh strategies for competitive play.
