On October 23, 2024, Episode 9 Act 3 kicked off, with some major updates this time- mainly regarding Premier and making changes to the competitive map pool. The players will get to know the expected end of this Act and also the next act of Valorant.
When Will Episode 9 Act 3 End?
Each VALORANT act takes about two months. According to this timeline, Episode 9 Act 3 should close on or by January 7, 2025. Prior to the end of an act, Riot Games usually reveals official dates. Look out for announcements from the game devs announcing the closure date in case there are any changes. That is about a month to rank up, complete the Battle Pass, and enjoy all the contents available.
What's Next? Episode 10 Act 1
As the end of Episode 9 Act 3 approaches, fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Episode 10 Act 1. This new Episode is going to bring a lot of new content, as well as potentially a new agent.
