Season 2026 Act 2 of Valorant is coming soon, which means a new batch of additions is coming to the popular shooter. Riot has been teasing the new additions, including a brand-new agent, for the past few days, and the community is patiently waiting for the official reveal.
While we wait for more concrete details, we have gathered all the clues revealed by the teasers, some leaks, and more about the new act.
When Does Valorant Season 2026 Act 2 Start?
Season 2026 Act 2 of Valorant is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, March 18, or Thursday, March 19, depending on your region.
The act will start on Wednesday at 6:00 AM PT for all users playing on the North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers. European players will wait a bit longer, as it starts on Thursday, at around 4:00 AM GMT.
Patch 13.00, which brings all the new content, will go live 24 hours before the act begins in each region, on Tuesday, March 17, and Wednesday, March 18.
New Agent
One of the bigger additions coming with this act is a brand-new agent, which Riot has teased on the VCT Masters Santiago animated trailer and trophy. Agent 30's name hasn't been revealed, but the teaser at the end of the animated trailer confirmed the character is from Croatia.
Leaker valohabercisi also revealed that the new agent will have a heal ability that "will grant a buff to another agent, and if the buffed player kills someone, an area will form around that player that increases their healing and damage."
The agent's full reveal will happen on Sunday, March 15, before the VCT Masters Santiago finals. A showmatch has already been announced, meaning we will see content creators trying out the new character on stage.
New Bundle
As expected, a new bundle is hitting the store shortly after the season starts. According to leaker valohabercisi, the bundle's theme will be based on Vyse's Ark Rose. That means we can expect the cosmetics to have a similar color palette to Vyse's abilities (silver, purple, and blue).
Here are the weapons included in the bundle: Vandal, Guardian, Marshall, Classic, and Melee. The leaker also stated that this might be an Exclusive or Ultra bundle, given that skins will have four variants and four upgrade levels.
Other Details
Here are other minor details we can point out about Act 2, so you don't miss out on anything:
- A new battle pass with two skinlines will be released.
- The competitive map pool will get refreshed, with Lotus and Fracture getting added and replacing Abyss and Corrode.
