Hush Valorant Release Date — New Duelist (October 27, 2026)
Hush is VALORANT’s new telekinetic Duelist scheduled to become playable on October 27, 2026 with Season 2026 Act VI (coverage commonly ties her to patch 13.09). As of October 27, 2026 morning (Asia/Shanghai) she may still be rolling out region by region — Riot does not publish one global unlock hour. Riot’s news hub still listed Patch Notes 13.08 (Oct 13) as the latest numbered patch when this page was last checked, and the Rise and Fall // Hush Agent Trailer (Oct 18) remains the official reveal. Official ability names belong only in Riot’s forthcoming patch notes — this page keeps release timing/identity and does not invent kit text. Once she is live in your region, drop countdown framing and point readers at the official 13.09 notes.

Who is Hush?
From Riot’s trailer framing and subsequent official wiki/news summaries:
- New Duelist focused on telekinetic control — flashes, pulls and redirected utility.
- Associated with China (third China-origin agent after Sage and Iso in public roster summaries).
- First agent wave after Riot’s Agent Mastery system launch in some coverage — expect a client reward track when she ships.
We will not invent cooldown numbers or full kit text here before Riot’s patch notes. Watch the official trailer and the Act VI patch notes on playvalorant.com.
How to unlock Hush when she is live
- Update VALORANT to the Act VI / Hush patch when your region receives it.
- Unlock her through the normal agent unlock paths Riot lists in-client for new agents (Kingdom Credits / unlocks — confirm in the patch notes).
- Do not buy “early Hush accounts” from third parties — account trading violates Riot policy and is a common scam vector.
