The anticipation behind every new Valorant Act is one that players worldwide look forward too, and with Episode 7 Act 3 coming to a close, a new Episode is on the horizon.
While we don’t know as of now if a new agent is on it’s way, Episode 8 Act 1 is going to be a memorable one.
Here’s when it’ll release for players worldwide.
When Does Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 Release?
The premier of any new Valorant Act or Episode is an exciting time to be playing the game, as Riot has consistently added new maps, agents and tweaked the game throughout the years.
Now, with the brand new Episode, we can expect a ton of changes to the game, including balance changes for certain agents alongside the new weapon coming as reported by ValorLeaks. This comes in the form of the Outlaw, a new form of marksman rifle for Valorant.
In terms of when Episode 8 is going to be released, the current in-game battle pass is winding down for players, and it’ll drawing to a close soon.
Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 is going to be released on January 9, 2024, so be sure to be online for when downtime ends for Valorant, as players will want to dive in ASAP. However, the Act itself will not begin until the following day, so there is a bit of downtime in-between Acts.
