Riot Games and VALORANT Welcome Newest Controller Agent Miks

Riot Games and VALORANT announced Miks, the newest Controller to join the agent roster, during the VALORANT Masters Santiago grand finals. Miks, a native of Croatia, approaches the stage with an unadulterated sound. Together, they set the pace on the fight as he mobilizes his crew with his contagious passion and aural abilities. “Clarity (VALORANT x BUNT. Remix),” a new take on Zedd’s classic song by up-and-coming DJ and producer BUNT, is featured in the new trailer seen below.

BUNT shared, “I’ve loved games my whole life, and VALORANT has been one of those worlds I kept coming back to. Making music for it is a real honor.”

Jonny Altepeter, Lead Music Supervisor at Riot Games, stated, “With Miks, we wanted to lean into his vibrant sonic identity and build something that matches his presence in-game. His upbeat energy and natural ability to create and manipulate sound made a remix the perfect direction, especially with a track like ‘Clarity’ that already carries such a powerful aura and undeniable energy. BUNT was able to reimagine it in a way that feels both nostalgic and distinctly VALORANT, while amplifying the spirit Miks brings to the game.” 

Kevin Meier, Game Designer on VALORANT, stated, “We approached the sound design of Miks’ abilities by first creating music, then extracting the most vibey elements and building the sound effects from there. Music is also a big part of Miks’ backstory prior to joining VALORANT, which we’re excited for players to hear more about in the future. His background reinforces his high-energy, social personality, since music is inherently mood lifting, just like he is.”

The following are Miks’ abilities:

Harmonize

  • EQUIP Harmonize. Target an ally and FIRE to activate a Combat Stim on yourself and the ally that refreshes with each kill. ALT-FIRE to grant Combat Stim to yourself.

M-pulse

  • EQUIP M-pulse. ALT-FIRE to toggle between Concuss and Healing outputs. FIRE to throw the device. Upon landing, M-pulse sends out sound waves, either Concussing or Healing players.

Waveform

  • PC: EQUIP a Map Targeter. FIRE to set locations. ALT-FIRE to spawn Smokes at selected locations.

  • Console: EQUIP a Map Targeter. ALT-FIRE to set locations. FIRE to spawn Smokes at selected locations.

Miks, which is a part of Season 2026 // Act 2, will be released on March 18, 2026. The Blackthorn Collection and a new Battlepass with goodies like the Soulburst Bandit, Dragon Gate Phantom, Flick of the Wrist Card, and more are also introduced by this new act.
