Act 1 for the Valorant 2025 season is about to commence, bringing a “futuristic-tech” theme, new battle pass items, new skins, and a new agent. The new agent was recently revealed to be Tejo, a Colombian ballistics expert, a nerdier Brimstone if you will.
The new agent release date coincides with the new Act 1 update 10.0 on January 8th. Tejo arrives at 6 am PT / 9 am ET/ 4 am GMT. Servers will be down temporarily but once back online Tejo and the other content will be downloadable.
Tejo’s abilities & ultimate
Tejo’s three main abilities are: Special delivery, Stealth Drone, and Guided Salvo, with the ultimate “Armageddon”.

The new season and patch 10.00 has plenty on offer, with Tejo taking center stage. The patch brings Fracture and Lotus back into the map pool, the Esports Hub returns, and automatic remake voting has arrived!
