Valorant has revealed its first new Agent coming to Valorant with the next Episode in 2025. Tejo is a brand new Initiator joining the roster straight from Colombian Intelligence services. He offers explosion in a literal sense clearing out any corners.
Valorant Patch 9.11 will bring major Nerfs to Neon and devs revealed these changes. Riot is also updated with how Neon’s slide is a bit OP for competitive matches and it can be hard to counter with two slides. These set changes will help make Valorant more fair in ranked matches. Moreover, Vyse is getting quality-of-life improvements and buffs coming to her Razor Vine. A part from agent changes, the Pinging system in Valorant is getting enhanced which before could distract players if an eliminated teammate continuously pinged on the map.

Here’s everything you nee to know about Tejo Initiator in Valorant including his release date, abilities and more.
Valorant Tejo Release Date
VALORANT’s newest agent Tejo will arrive with VALORANT’s Season 2025 Act I on January 8 2024. He will be available for play immediately and enter the game with a ten-tier agent contract users can earn.
Tejo’s Background
Tejo, VALORANT’s newest Agent, is an experienced Columbian intelligence operative. He is a military veteran who now uses his skills as a consultant (perhaps he could get along well with fan-favorite ‘old dog’ Brimstone, who served in the US Military).
Tejo’s codename is likely a reference to Colombian culture. A game invented by indigenous Colombians, also called Tejo, involves throwing heavy metal discs at explosives on a board filled with gunpowder. It connects to his abilities as a VALORANT agent — in Tejo’s “Sticky Grenade” ability, players will similarly toss a grenade at a target area.
Tejo’s Abilities in Valorant
- Ability 1, Special Delivery: “EQUIP a sticky grenade. FIRE to launch. The grenade sticks to the first surface it hits and explodes, concussing any targets caught in the blast. ALT FIRE to launch the grenade with a single bounce instead.”
