Alright, so I’ve been hooked on Valorant lately, right? It’s been my go-to game after work, and I just can’t get enough of it. But like any gamer, I’m always hyped for what’s next, especially the new Acts. So, I got curious and decided to figure out when the next Valorant Act is dropping.
First thing I did was check the current battle pass countdown in the game. You know, that little timer that’s always ticking away? It’s usually a good indicator. Based on that, it looked like Episode 9 Act 3 was gonna start on October 23rd. I made a note of that, but I wanted to be extra sure.
Next, I remembered that new Acts usually start early in the morning, West Coast time. I figured it’d be around 6:00 AM PT, which is 2:00 PM for those in the UK. I also saw that the big patch, you know, the one with all the juicy new content, usually drops a day before the Act actually starts. This time it seemed like it’s going to be patch 9.08.
Then I dug a little deeper. I recalled that each Episode in Valorant has three Acts, and they usually update like clockwork, about every two months. Episodes are the big ones, right? They shake things up with major changes. Acts, on the other hand, are more about adding new stuff gradually, like new agents, maps, and resetting the competitive ranks.
I also stumbled upon some info about Valorant Premier. Apparently, Episode 7 Act 2 for that is hitting the servers on November 22nd. Not directly related to the main Act schedule, but still good to know.
- Checked in-game battle pass countdown.
- Estimated start time based on usual patterns.
- Noted the patch number and release timing.
- Recalled the Episode/Act structure and update frequency.
- Found additional info about Valorant Premier.
Further Down the Road
But wait, there’s more! I found out when Episode 10 Act 1 is supposed to begin. Get this: it’s looking like January 8th, 2025, for the Americas and January 9th, 2025, for some other regions. That’s a bit far off, but hey, it’s always good to have something to look forward to. There’s even a rumor that it will start on January 7th or 8th. This means I’ve got plenty of time to grind the current Act and get ready for the next big thing. Seems like Riot Games is preparing for a big update with new skins and who knows what else!
