2023 has been an exciting year for VALORANT players so far. Riot Games has fascinated fans by releasing and announcing new features and updates to the first-person shooter.
VALORANT Episode 6 Act 1 saw a significant release, Lotus, the newest map. This was just the tip of the iceberg. Later on, developers revealed forthcoming elements in the game, and the announcement of three new agents was arguably the most highlighted news.
One of the three new agents, agent 22, is joining the agent array very soon. The name of the new agent is Gekko.
What are the abilities of Gekko? – Answered
Pretty obviously, the first thing gamers want to know about any new VALORANT agent is the abilities the agent has.
Unfortunately, as of writing, Riot Games hasn’t revealed the exact set of abilities Gekko will possess. However, in the previous announcement video, Goscicki, character producer at Riot Games, provided some hints about the same.
According to Goscicki, agent 22 will be an Initiator-type agent with abilities to check the corners, reveal locations, and most notably plant the spike in new ways.
Being an Initiator, it is quite obvious that Gekko will help players locate enemies, as done by other Initiators such as Sova and Skye. However, the most attentive ability of Gekko is that he may be able to plant the spike in a different way.
We must wait until the release of Gekko to see what he can actually do.
VALORANT new agent Gekko release date
The new agent in VALORANT is set to release with the Episode 6 Act 2 rollout. As per the officials, the said version of the shooter game will release on March 7.
Hence, it is clear that players will be able to try the interesting agent on March 7.
Again, devs haven’t revealed any significant details about the new agent. Everything circulating on the web is just based on official teasers, leaks, and rumors.
Nevertheless, rumors and speculations are supposed to be strongly true due to various reasons.

As mentioned earlier, the majority of revelations about the new agent Gekko are sourced from teasers and leaks, especially through the Twitter handles of officials and data miners.
