Valorant Harbor

With Season 2026 Act 1 of Valorant still underway, patch 12.02 is coming to bring some changes. Now that the patch notes have been posted, we know that some changes are coming to both Harbor and Reyna.

Even though the controller recently received a rework, the new patch comes in and buffs most of his abilities. Reyna is on the other side of the coin, as she only received nerfs. We have all the details about the new update, so you can check them out before jumping back into the game.

When Does Valorant Patch 12.02 Come Out?

Patch 12.02 for Valorant is scheduled to release on Tuesday, February 3, or Wednesday, February 4, depending on the region you play.

The patch will roll out on Tuesday at 6:00 AM PT for North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers. European players will have to wait a bit more, as the rollout is scheduled to begin on Wednesday at 4:00 AM GMT.
