One of the posts was captioned, “I’ve barely arrived and I can already feel their fear, despicable humans!”. There was also a second post on their Facebook handle which said, “Come on, get closer. Tonight calm might be your last breath.”
Additionally, during an interview, Valorant devs responded to agent skins queries and said it might happen, but they don’t know when. To make it possible, the team would have to prioritize game quality over issues that may come along with custom skins. Riot might roll out agent skins once those potential glitches aren’t a concern.
Art lead Sean Marino quoted, “We don’t ever want to put a blank no on it [agent skins]. We are talking about it, but as we always say, we have to do it in a smart and correct way that doesn’t compromise gameplay,”.
