While Valorant Patch 8.11 just went live on June 11, 2024, players are already looking forward to what's next in Patch 9.0! Fans worldwide are buzzing with anticipation to explore the latest updates, wondering what Riot Games has in store for them.
Patch 8.11 introduced significant buffs, nerfs, and the exciting new map, Abyss. While Patch 9.0 might not bring a new map, players can still expect some exciting additions. The start of a new Valorant season and episode always brings fresh excitement, so let's dive into what we know so far!
What are Acts in Valorant?
In Valorant, Episodes are divided into Acts, with each Episode containing three Acts. Each Act spans around four to five patches, each lasting approximately two weeks. The beginning of a new Act typically means major updates for players.
When is Valorant Episode 9 Act 1 going live?
Valorant Episode 9 Act 1, launching with Patch 9.0, is set to debut on June 25, 2024, right after the current battle pass concludes. However, given the extensive changes in Patch 8.11, fans speculate Patch 9.0 might focus more on agent buffs and bug fixes. Here's what we have lined up!
Patch 9.0 will kick off with maintenance periods across different regions:
- North America: June 25, 2 PM - 4 PM PT
- Brazil: June 25, 7 PM - 9 PM BRT
- Europe: June 25, 10 PM - 12 AM GMT
- Asia Pacific: June 26, 3 AM - 5 AM IST
- Korea: June 26, 8 AM - 10 AM KST
However, during this maintenance, servers will be down to facilitate the update. Once complete, players can download Patch 9.0 and dive into Valorant again.
What can we expect from Valorant Episode 9 Act 1?
We still have a while to wait for the official release of Valorant Patch 9.0. Some things remain consistent from season to season, so we can make some educated guesses about what's coming up. Expect a new battle pass featuring exciting cosmetics, a fresh skin line, and another original bundle.
It's unlikely we'll see new maps added to the pool right after Abyss, but we can anticipate buffs for Agents less frequently used in the current Valorant meta. Stay tuned for our updates to get the latest news on Valorant Episode 9 Act 1 as soon as it drops!
