When does Valorant's new Agent Deadlock release for Mumbai (India) server?

Riot Games recently unveiled their upcoming Valorant Agent Deadlock, the 23rd Agent to join the roster. She will belong to the Sentinel role, and as a Sentinel, her abilities allow her to not only slow down enemies' aggression but also prevent them from flanking her teammates. She is the 5th Sentinel Agent to be added to the game and will arrive with the Episode 7 Act 1 update.

The Sentinel role is often deemed weak by the game's community. With frequent nerfs to the role in the past, their popularity quickly diminished, and fans demanded updates to improve their position in the meta. For instance, the last time a Sentinel character was added to Valorant was in Episode 3 with Chamber. Since then, the role has remained stale.

Fortunately, all this will change as Deadlock makes her way to the game with the upcoming Patch 7.0. That said, this article will take a look at Deadlock and her release.
