When does Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 start? Act 2 end date

Valorant Episode 9 Act 2 has arrived, bringing a new Sentinel named Vyse with it. However, some players might already be wondering when Episode 9 Act 3 is scheduled to kick off.

Besides a new Agent, the latest Act freshens up the Battle Pass, implements some character changes, and also has a map rotation planned for the coming weeks.

While the current Act is still quite fresh, you might be interested in knowing when Episode 9 Act 3 begins, so here’s everything you need to know.

Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 start date

Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 will arrive on October 23, 2024, at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST as revealed by the Battle Pass timer for Episode 9 Act 2.

Keep in mind that the devs always schedule server maintenance right after the end of an Act, which temporarily disables matchmaking.

Episode 9 Act 3 expected content

At the time of writing, not much is known about what Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 has in store. Given the fairly recent introduction of Abyss and the addition of Vyse to the roster, it’s safe to rule out a new map or Agent being added in the next content update.

That said, we expect to see a new map rotation and maybe even a fresh weapon. The last new weapon to arrive in the game was the Outlaw sniper rifle back in Episode 8 Act 1. Considering how long it’s been, we might see a new weapon in the next Act.

We’ll be sure to update this guide once more details surrounding Valorant Episode 9 Act 3 arrive. Until then, make sure to get the most out of the current act by switching a crosshair used by the pros and using the best Agents.
