Valorant is a competitive online tactical hero shooter, and as such, I never expected it to have seasons in the same way as a game like Rainbow Six Siege does. However, the game does have a similar system in its Episodes and Acts that help ease players into new content without feeling overwhelmed.
An Episode in Valorant usually lasts around six months in total, with three Acts per Episode, each lasting roughly two months, allowing players the time required to get excited for new content, enjoy it, play far too much of it, and repeat the cycle. Seasonal content models can feel awkward, especially if missions are time-gated, as they were in Destiny 2. If you’re new to the game or have been playing for a while, it can be difficult to keep track of where all the new content came from and when.

At the time of writing, Valorant is in Episode 9, Act 1. Act 2 will follow this, but we’ll need to wait for confirmation from Riot Games to know exactly when it’s meant to start.
