New VALORANT Agent 30 Leaks: Croatia, Radiant, and Sound Clues

Riot still hasn’t fully revealed VALORANT’s 30th agent, but official teasers in the client, cinematics, and esports promos already outline a clear picture of who this character is connected to and roughly when you can expect them. At the time of writing, Riot has not confirmed the agent’s name, role, or full ability kit, so you should treat anything beyond those basics as speculation.

From what Riot has shown so far, Agent 30 appears as a new Radiant tied to Croatia, and Riot teases him through a Battle Pass player card called Amplify (codename “SonicAlchemy”), a Sage‑focused cinematic, and a Masters Santiago 2026 teaser where Clove and Killjoy track a Radiant using coordinates that lead directly to Zagreb. Visuals across these pieces strongly point toward a sound, vibration, or wave‑based theme, likely leaning into a supportive or control‑oriented fantasy, but Riot hasn’t locked in the official role yet.​

What is Agent 30 in VALORANT?

Agent 30 is the internal label for VALORANT’s upcoming new agent, teased through the current Battle Pass, lore cinematics, and VCT Masters Santiago 2026 content. They are a Radiant, meaning a human with supernatural abilities linked to radianite, which is directly called out by the “Radiant detected” caption on an official short where Clove and Killjoy track their location.

In that teaser, coordinates shown on Clove’s device map to Zagreb, Croatia, tying the new agent’s backstory to Croatia’s capital city in canonical lore. That same sequence also shows wave‑like visual effects through a garage door and logos that match the Battle Pass teaser card, tying all of these hints to the same character.

Amplify / SonicAlchemy: the in‑game player card teaser

One of the clearest in‑client hints is a player card called Amplify in the current Battle Pass, with the internal codename SonicAlchemy. Content creators and community posts have confirmed that this card appears in the Battle Pass for the act leading into Masters Santiago and has been described as a teaser for the next agent, similar to how teaser cards were used for previous releases like Veto.

From that card alone, you can safely say:

• The card’s name, Amplify, and codename, SonicAlchemy, both reference sound and transformation, and the artwork uses circular, radar‑like wave symbols.​

• Multiple official‑adjacent posts and videos specifically present this player card as a tease for the next VALORANT agent, and they follow the precedent Riot established with earlier agents.

What the card does not give you is any hard mechanical detail. There are no in‑client ability tooltips, radius values, or role tags attached to Amplify at this time, so any detailed kit descriptions you see elsewhere are leaks or theorycrafting, not official announcements.

Sage cinematic: mysterious voice, crystals, and wave‑like energy

Riot also dropped a short cinematic that follows the aftermath of “Why We Fight Back,” focusing heavily on Sage and the cost of her healing powers. In this story beat, Sage attempts to revive Reyna, overextends her power, and becomes encased in sharp radianite crystals while clearly in pain.

During this sequence:

• The environment transforms into a crystalline radianite realm, and Sage faces a fully crystallized version of herself, suggesting what happens if she keeps pushing her power.

• A new male voice speaks in another language before saying “Don’t give up” in English.

• As he speaks, waves of light and energy ripple outward, cracking and then shattering the crystal shell around Sage in concentric ring patterns.

Lore breakdowns and native speakers strongly suggest those early lines are Croatian or a very close South Slavic language, aligning neatly with the Zagreb coordinates from the Masters teaser.

From a gameplay‑fantasy point of view, this cinematic positions the new character as someone who helps stabilize Sage and break harmful effects rather than causing direct harm, nudging expectations toward a support or control playstyle without actually confirming a role.

Masters Santiago 2026: trophy, coordinates, and Radiant detection

Masters Santiago 2026 is currently the main stage for Agent 30 teasers on the esports side. Several elements in the build‑up point back to the same character:

• Masters Santiago trophy: Esports coverage notes that the tournament trophy includes iconography matching the Amplify/SonicAlchemy player card and uses green‑tinted elements that echo the crystal and wave motifs from the Sage cinematic.​

• Clove and Killjoy teaser: In a recent short, Clove and Killjoy investigate a location labeled with real‑world GPS coordinates.​​

• Those coordinates – 45°48′ N, 15°57′ E – correspond to Zagreb, Croatia, anchoring the new agent to a specific city in VALORANT’s lore.​​

• The teaser uses the caption “Radiant detected,” explicitly confirming that whoever they are tracking is a Radiant.​​​

What we still don’t know (and what’s just leaks)

If you’re trying to stay ahead of the meta, it’s tempting to latch onto every data‑mined line, but it’s worth separating leaks from confirmed information.

Here’s what is not officially confirmed yet:

• Role: Many creators and community threads argue Agent 30 will be a controller or support‑leaning agent, based on current roster gaps and thematic hints, but Riot has not shown an official role badge.​

• Ability kit: Data‑miners have surfaced strings such as “AlliesHealed” and “EnemiesHealed,” and some videos claim the agent’s name and outline possible abilities like zones that heal both teams at once. These come from leaks and analysis, not from a Riot gameplay trailer or agent page.

• Official name and visual key art: The character’s face appears only in brief flashes in the Sage cinematic and in highly stylized fragments in teasers; there’s no full splash art, codename, or biography on Riot’s official site yet.
