While VALORANT doesn’t have actual seasons, it essentially has a seasonal model, with roughly six-month-long Episodes broken into Acts that last a few months.
With each Act, VALORANT players are treated to new content like agents, maps, and modes. Each Act gives the community time to enjoy the additions without overloading them with too much new content, keeping the game fresh and fun.
VALORANT is hosting the third of Episode Nine, which began on Oct. 23, but the next Episode is fast approaching
