Patch 10.00 will be Valorant's first update of the year, kicking off an entirely new episode with Episode 10 Act 1. In other words, the update is set to be pretty significant, bringing several changes as well as new content.
While we wait for its arrival, here is everything we know so far about the upcoming version so you can stay informed.
Expected release date
Thanks to the in-game countdown of the current battle pass, patch 10.00 for Valorant should arrive on January 7 or January 8, depending on the region you play.
A maintenance period could take place before its release, but this will be announced through the game's status page at least a day before.
What do we know about patch 10.00?
First of all, patch 10.00 will introduce all the new content from the upcoming Valorant season. This means a new battle pass, a new bundle for the item shop, and a new agent.
The first teaser for Agent 27 was released before the holidays and while a few details about the character have leaked, we are still waiting for official confirmation and more information.
Apart from that, the patch is set to make a change in the competitive map pool. Ascent and Sunset will rotate out, while Fracture and Lotus will be added back in.
The update's patch notes will be posted the same day it releases and we will update this article once they're available.
