The release date and time for when new Valorant agent Gekko will come out is almost here, and Riot Games has shared all of the abilities for the forthcoming Initiator.
Valorant is an extremely popular shooter and there’s lots to look forward to in Episode 6 Act 2. Alongside a fresh battle pass, there is also the arrival of the Oni skins 2.0 bundle.
While the battle pass and Oni bundle will provide lots of new content for fans to enjoy, new agent Gekko is arguably the most exciting aspect thanks to his abilities that include cute pets.
When does new Valorant agent Gekko come out?
The release date for when the new Valorant agent, Gekko, will come out is March 7th/8th.
This is in conjunction with Episode 6 Act 2. The update time for the upcoming chapter is 06:00 PST and 09:00 EDT for NA servers on March 7th, meanwhile it is 04:00 GMT on March 8th for Europe.
Riot Games revealed Gekko during the VCT grand finals. This took place on March 4th and showed us lots of gameplay of the new agent.
Although he is coming out today or tomorrow pending on your server, Riot Games has also announced a global open beta for Premier mode. This will begin in Episode 6 Act 3, meaning it should arrive around May/June.
