Valorant, the popular first-person shooter game, is set to receive a new addition to its roster of Agents in the form of Gekko. As the game's sixth episode continues to roll out, anticipation is growing around what this new Agent will bring, from their abilities to their overall appearance.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Gekko is its name. Unlike previous Agents, the official name was not found through data mining but rather hidden within the game files. While it's unclear what the name signifies, we know that Gekko is of Hispanic origin and likely hails from a warm region, such as South America.

Another aspect of Gekko that has piqued players' interest is their role as initiator-type Agent. This is somewhat unexpected, given that it's been a while since a new Duelist was added to the game. However, this also suggests that Gekko will have unique abilities to offer their team, especially when providing intel and controlling the battlefield.

While specific details about his abilities have yet to be revealed, there have been some tantalizing hints dropped by Riot Games. For instance, in a recent presentation, John Goscicki, a developer at Riot, suggested that Gekko will have an "eclectic way of dealing with situations." This likely means that his utility belt will contain some unconventional items that can be used to gain an advantage in combat.

Furthermore, Gekko's abilities involve "new ways to check corners, reveal locations, and plant the spike." The latter is particularly intriguing, as it suggests he may have a unique way of remotely planting the spike. It remains to be seen whether he can place the spike from a distance or have an easier time planting it while under pressure.

Regarding Gekko's appearance, Riot Games has been dropping hints and teasers over the past few weeks. These teasers include sketches and animations of various creatures that are believed to be associated with Gekko in some way. For instance, one teaser shows a small, lizard-like creature crawling across a leaf, while another shows a group of creatures that resemble frogs.

It's also worth noting that the Agent's voice has a distinct Spanish accent, further reinforcing their Hispanic origins.

As for when Gekko will make their official debut, players don't have much longer to wait. The new character is set to launch next week as part of Episode 6, Act 2, and will be available to play in North America on March 7th, with players in Europe and Asia waiting an extra day.
