Riot Games has been busy supporting its popular tac-shooter, Valorant, since the game’s launch back in June of 2020, balancing its meta with various changes as well as adding new maps and Agents. For its most recent major update, it’s the latter that has taken center stage, and she’s proving very impactful to the meta. Given her popularity, then, it’s no wonder to see so many are curious for more information on the lore of this new initiator; here’s what you need to know about where Fade is from in Valorant and what her nationality is.
What is Fade’s Nationality in Valorant?
Fade is from Turkey and, specifically, from the country’s largest city, Istanbul. As such, you’ll hear many Turkish voice lines while either playing as or with Fade in a game of Valorant.
If you were tuned into the build-up to Fade’s launch last month, then you are likely to have noticed a bunch of clues as to her nationality, many of which we went over in our dedicated article. Those included clues such as the inclusion of Turkish coffee and Turkish Delight in the various artwork showcased in teaser trailers and articles. Not to mention, images of her hands put a spotlight on Henna tattoo, an Arabic tradition that strongly suggested Fade would come from that region.
For those familiar with the Valorant scene in general, you might be aware that the game is exceptionally popular in Turkey. That perhaps explains why Riot Games was keen to include an Agent from the country, quite apart from the fact that it has, in general, tried to keep the roster as diverse as possible with Agents from all around the globe.
That’s everything there is to know about where Fade is from in Valorant and her nationality. We’ve just updated our recent article ranking all of Valorant’s Agents into tiers, so why not check out where Fade ranks, in our opinion?
