We are so close to the start of Episode 9 Act 3 of Valorant, the last season of the current episode. Now that we are a few days away, Riot has revealed all the new content coming to the game, including a new TDM map.
Here is everything you need to know about the new act's content so you can prepare accordingly and make sure to finish the current battle pass.
Release date
According to the battle pass countdown, Valorant's Episode 9 Act 3 is set to be released on Wednesday, October 23. If the format from the current season remains, we expect the season to start at around 6:00 am PT (2:00 pm BST).
All the new content will be added to the game a day before through patch 9.08.
New TDM map
Once the season starts, a new Team Deathmatch map called Glitch will be added to the game. This symmetrical map follows the classic three-lane design layout.
The map features open spawns to prevent spawn-camping and will have two visual themes: "Abandoned" Sunset and "Winter" Haven.
On top of that, it is said the map will feature several easter eggs, probably related to either the game's lore or future additions.
Battle Pass
The key art for this season's battle pass was revealing, showing off some of the skins and other cosmetics users will be able to get this time.
As you can see, one of the skinlines gives the weapon a dark metal color and some holographic details. On the other hand, a second skinline features purple and green details with a more street-like/graffiti style.
Other details
Here are other minor details about Act 3's additions so you do not miss anything:
- The new Doombringer bundle will be added to the store two days after patch 9.08 drops.
- A second bundle based on the Arcane animated series will drop probably after the season starts.
- Teasers for an upcoming agent or map should appear throughout this new season.
Once we have more information about the upcoming content, we will update this article to add all the important details and keep you in the loop.
