Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. All disclosed details about Hush—its unveiling, playable date, kit reveal and ability sharing—come from reports by dexerto.com, with no primary source confirmation cited. Consequently, the information rests solely on secondary reporting and lacks independent verification. Until the agent is actually released on October 27, the claims remain unverified.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
What happens next
October 27, 2026: Hush becomes playable in Valorant on Oct. 27.
