Patch 9.11 is next on the calendar for Valorant players and this is a version some have been waiting in the last couple of weeks. This is simply because the update brings changes to one specific agent that has been very popular in the meta.

While we wait for more official details, here is everything that has been confirmed and rumored for the upcoming version.

Release date

Although we are still waiting for confirmation, patch 9.11 for Valorant is expected to go live on December 10 or 11, depending on the region you currently play.

A maintenance period could occur before the update arrives, but this should be announced through Riot's official status page a day early.

The update rollout should start around 6:00 am PT for North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers. European users will have to wait until Wednesday at 4:00 am BST.

What do we know about the patch notes?

The patch notes for version 9.11 of Valorant are still unknown since they will be published on the game's website once the update starts to roll out across the different regions

However, the developers already confirmed through X (formerly Twitter) that this patch will bring a long-awaited nerf to Neon. The duelist has been in the meta for quite some time, allowing players to run around and shoot like crazy without any good counters or penalties.

With rumors that Riot will launch an Araxys 2.0 bundle, we expect the patch to also add all the cosmetics from this set to the game's files.

Apart from that, the update should have other common elements like quality-of-life additions, UI changes or improvements, and bug fixes.

Once the patch notes are live, we will update this article to add them all here so you can read about everything the update will bring to the free-to-play title.
