Riot Games has finally revealed what they have in store for VALORANT players in 2025. And the new year will start with the introduction of the next initiator agent called TEJO.

VALORANT was Riot Games’ answer to the highly competitive tactical shooter market. And instead of making another cookie-cutter tactical shooter, Riot decided to add new characters with unique abilities to spice up the gameplay.

This mixture of precise tactical shooter gunplay with hero shooter abilities was an instant hit among the first-person shooter player base when it was first released in 2020. Riot usually adds four agents per year.

TEJO’s First Look

With the season 2025 ACT 1 trailer, Riot Games has revealed their new agent called “TEJO.” So far, we know he will be an initiator and is of Spanish descent.

TEJO’s Abilities:

  • Stealth Drone: Throw and possess a stealth drone that, upon activation, creates a small sonar pulse at its location.
  • Guided Salvo: Pull up a map to target one or more missiles toward a location. Upon reaching their location, the missiles explode twice, pushing enemies off of angles.
  • Special Delivery: Toss a grenade that bounces once (sticks to players immediately), sticks, then winds up and explodes. Explosion concusses.
  • Armageddon (Ultimate): Cast a wave of explosions, forcing enemies to move in the direction of your choosing.

TEJO’s Release Date:

As of writing, we have no official release date. However, expect Tejo to be released alongside Valorant’s Episode 10 Act 1.
