What’s New in VALORANT Episode 4 Act I

A quick disruption to the new year, with Act I Battlepass, Neon, and the Protocol skinline.

Reset the clock or keep the momentum. VALORANT Episode 4 will pass you by if you can’t keep up with the next Duelist, a Battlepass reboot, and Protocol’s weaponized perfection.

NEW AGENT: NEON

With a speed that blinds like the golden sun, Neon waits for no one. The latest Agent is a one-person race to dish out a bioelectric smackdown using speed bursts, energy bolts, and a deadly lightning beam ultimate.

See Neon’s abilities on her Agent page.
