Hush Release Date: October 27–28, 2026

Hush release date runs from an October 18, 2026 reveal to an expected October 27, 2026 launch inside Season 26 Act VI — with clear lines between confirmed and pending.

The Release Date in Context

Hush is the newest VALORANT Duelist, revealed by Riot Games on October 18, 2026. The character comes from Guangdong, China and is built around a telekinetic combat identity aimed at aggressive entry play. The reveal was anchored by the RISE AND FALL Agent Trailer and tied to the Season 26 Act VI content window, with October 27, 2026 listed as the expected playable date.

One caution before anything else: October 27 is an expected window, not a guaranteed schedule. Riot can adjust regional rollout or patch timing, so verify against the VALORANT news page before you book your first Hush sessions.

Getting Ready for the Launch

1

Watch the official trailer — absorb Hush's telekinetic visual language and design direction on the VALORANT YouTube channel before gameplay details arrive.

2

Track the news page daily — launch week carries the playable date confirmation, the ability reveal and the accompanying patch notes.

3

Save unlock resources — check the Agents panel at launch and follow the recruitment option shown for Hush.

4

Refresh Duelist fundamentals — practice entry timing, crosshair placement and trading on Jett or Raze; Hush rewards the same core skills.

5

Verify platform access — update your client on PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X|S ahead of time, since maintenance windows can delay access by hours.

Launch Prep Checklist

  • Watch the RISE AND FALL Agent Trailer.
  • Check Hush's live recruitment option in the Agents panel.
  • Follow VALORANT news for the confirmed launch date.
  • Warm up entry Duelist mechanics in ranked or Swiftplay.
  • Update the game client on your platform.
  • Review ability details once Riot publishes them.
Do not assume a Kingdom Credit, XP, or Agent Contract requirement from an older guide. Verify Hush's base recruitment option in the live client; Agent Mastery covers separate progression and reward tracks.

Platform Access at Launch

  • PC — supported at the launch window, with the client updated through the official site.
  • PS5 — supported, on the same seasonal patch as PC.
  • Xbox Series X|S — supported, with access tied to the same regional deployment.
  • Regional caveat — maintenance schedules differ, so availability can land several hours apart between regions.
Bookmark the official Agents page and check it after October 27: Riot typically publishes full ability breakdowns, costs and unlock requirements once an Agent enters the live roster.

Who Is Hush, Hush?
