Riot Games, the company behind the popular FPS tactical shooter VALORANT has taken the curtains off the new agent Astra on their official Twitter.

Astra is a controller agent who is originally from Ghana. She now joins the controller stack alongside Brimstone, Omen, and Viper. After the game's publication, she's been the first controller to be added to VALORANT. Since the game's release, duelists Raze, Reyna, Yoru, and sentinel Killjoy have been included. 

She’s already got it all planned out. Harness the cosmos and control the fight as Astra, the newest Agent in VALORANT. pic.twitter.com/1vTKh25atc
