There’s a mysterious buzz in the Valorant community right now, pulling players into a secret hunt. Riot Games is known for hiding clues in maps before announcing new agents or maps, but this time, the "Secret Event" seems directly connected to Agent 26 and the VCT 2026 season.

Here are the hidden details currently swirling in-game and within the community:

Valorant: The "Shadow Project" Secret Event

These secret elements usually show up through subtle changes in the Range (Poligon) and certain maps. Recently, new audio files have leaked, featuring Valorant’s signature Viper green and deep purple themes.

Secret Room & Audio Logs in the Range

Head to Cypher’s office or the lower cells in the Range and you’ll find new interactions waiting for you:

• New Audio Log: A fresh dialogue between Brimstone and Sage has been added, mentioning an “uncontrollable power.”

• Radianite Leak: On some maps (especially Abyss and Sunset), strange energy surges are now visible at certain spots. This could hint at the new agent’s abilities.

Secret Mission: "The Unseen"

Some players claim they’ve received a rare secret cartridge notification on the post-match screen, which only appears under certain conditions (possibly a specific score or ability usage).

• Reward: Completing this secret interaction is rumored to grant the "Observer" title or a special player card.

• Encrypted Messages: Brief flashes of purple code on certain in-game screens are being cracked by the community on social media.
