Valorant Episode 9 continues to blossom, and Act 2 is just around the corner. Here’s a roundup of what to expect when the new act drops:
When Does Valorant Episode 9 Act 2 Start?
Mark your calendars! Based on typical release cadences, Episode 9 Act 2 is estimated to arrive around Tuesday, August 27th, 2024. Buckle up for a server maintenance window beforehand, so you can jump in right when the new content blooms.
Battle Pass in Bloom
Episode 9 Act 2 wouldn’t be complete without a vibrant new battle pass. Expect a fresh batch of weapon skins, player cards, gun buddies, and sprays to level up for. The theme might tie in with the new agent or Act 2’s narrative, but we’ll have to wait for official reveals to know for sure.
New Agent: Nature’s Wrath
The biggest mystery of Act 2 is the highly anticipated new agent. Riot Games has been teasing this character since Episode 8, with hints pointing towards a nature-themed controller.
In the Episode 9 Act 1 trailer, we saw roots erupting from the ground. Combining this with the claw-like hands glimpsed in the Abyss map trailer, speculation suggests an agent with abilities that manipulate flora or control the battlefield with organic tools.
While details are scarce, one thing’s for certain: the new agent is bound to shake up the meta and introduce fresh strategic possibilities.
Beyond the Garden Wall
While the new agent is the star attraction, Act 2 is likely to bring other changes as well. Potential tweaks to existing agents, map reworks, and a new game mode could all be part of the update. Keep an eye on official Valorant channels for more details as we get closer to the release date.
Episode 9 Act 2 promises to be a verdant chapter in Valorant‘s story. Prepare to test your skills against the new agent, climb the ranks with the fresh battle pass, and adapt to a potentially shifting meta. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the official launch!
