Riot Games is known for adding changes to Valorant with every update. Be it in the form of a new map, or an agent. Not only this, but stepping into 2023, Valorant confirmed they will be introducing three agents before the year ends. The latest leaks are surrounding a new agent called Valorant SmokeDancer Agent.
While it was earlier anticipated that this leaked agent would be agent 22, which was not the case. Agent 22 was introduced at VCT LOCK//IN 2023 and is named Gekko.
All that we know about Valorant SmokeDancer Agent so far
While not a lot is known about the new agent, the name definitely suggests that it will be a controller. He/she would be able to manipulate smokes and would have the team’s gameplay built around him/her.
Leaks suggest that the upcoming controller is still under development and might not be a part of the next chapter. However, it is in all likelihood that that agent will be unveiled before the VCT Champions 2023. The event could be the most ideal place to showcase an agent of this grandeur.

— VALORANT (@PlayVALORANT) March 2, 2023
Just before the finals of VCT LOCK//IN 2023, Riot Games introduced the newest agent to join the party– Agent 22. The Los Angeles native, Gekko instantly became the most talked about agent because of his unique abilities and the pets that he carries.
Wingman, one of his abilities has been the most talked about in the game. With the wingman, the agent doesn’t have to go and plant the spike. Gekko just has to aim and unleash Wingman, for the job to be done.
Fans react to Agent SmokeDancer
Since the time the agent was released, fans have been wondering a lot about what the agent’s abilities and looks could be like. Here are some of the expectations that people have from the agent:

Monk? An Astral Guardian channeling their powers like a monk? They could be connected to Lotus, as a monk would fit into a temple.— The Cycle of Ashlesh (@EleodoroElysian) February 4, 2023
