When does Valorant Episode 9 Act 2 start?

Episode 9 Act 1 of Valorant is winding down soon, which means the second Act will take over with a ton of new content. Here’s when Valorant Episode 9 Act 2 will start.

The onset of a new Valorant Act always results in a shift in the meta, and this will be no different this time around. Episode 9 Act 2 will bring a new Agent, which means we will likely get to see a change in team compositions and new strategies unveiled at VCT next year.

Valorant Episode 9 Act 2 start date and time

Valorant Episode 9 Act 2 will commence on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at 5 p.m. ET / 10 p.m. BST / 2 p.m. PT. Before that, the servers will undergo maintenance for a smooth transition into the new season.

What new content will Episode 9 Act 2 bring?

For starters, we will be getting to see a brand-new character joining the roster, Agent 26. Right now, we don’t have the exact details of what role or abilities they’ll have. Riot will reveal more during the end stages of Valorant Champions in South Korea.

Like all previous Acts, Episode 9 Act 2 will kick off with a fresh Battle Pass and a premium skin line. Remember that, starting with patch 9 (Episode 9 Act 1), Riot made it a rule that the Battle Pass and the premium skin line would be released one and two days after the new season starts.

Shortly after that, all the offseason tournaments for different regions will start following. Riot has an extensive plan, with both returning and new events to keep the rest of this year filled with non-stop action.
