Riot Games releases a new trailer for Valorant character Cypher. Riot has also released trailers for support characters like Sage and wallhacking agent Sova as it begins to give fans access to the Valorant closed beta and prepare for the full launch of the game.
On the game's official Twitter, Riot has revealed a new trailer for Valorant character Cypher who is hails from the Northern Afrian country of Morocco. Cypher's tagline is "I know exactly where you are" which is a bit like Sova's tagline of "wherever they run, I will find them." Unsurprisingly, Cypher is a recon-style character that dresses and acts like a super-spy.
One of Cypher's abilities, which can be seen in the new Valorant trailer, is the Cyber Cage. This cage allows Cypher to create a zone that blocks enemy vision and slow any enemy that walks through it. The two other Cypher abilities seen in the trailer are Trapwire and Spycam. With the Trapwire, Cypher draws a line that reveals, tethers, and dazes an enemy that walks through it and fails to destroy it quickly. The Spycam is a manually operated camera that can be placed on a wall and used to see where enemies are. Spycam can also be used to fire a dart at an enemy that reveals their position.
Cypher also has an ultimate ability called Neural Theft, which isn't seen in the trailer. Neural Theft allows the Valorant character to hack the dead body of an enemy and use it to reveal where all of their teammates are. It isn't as cool as the ultimate ability of Viper, as she can create a huge cloud of poison, but it could be just the thing that helps a team get a Valorant win.
Riot has a few more Valorant character trailers to go. A Valorant character called Raze has been shown in streams by xQc and TimTheTatMan and fans have been excited to see more of her grenade abilities and to play as her in the beta. There are also characters like Brimstone, who has a support ability, and Omen who can move unseen around the map.
However, it's unclear when the next trailer will be released as Riot also has some work on its hands trying to give out more Valorant beta codes and make sure its servers are okay after huge demand. Millions have been watching the game on Twitch trying to get a beta code for the game and those trailers are only making fans want to play more.
Valorant will release this summer for PC.
