All Valorant Episodes and Acts (May 2023)

Valorant is one of the most popular games right now, with it having over 15 million monthly players. However, if the game was to stay the same, then the player count would have dropped a long time ago due to burnout and boredom.

That’s where Valorant acts come in. An act is essentially a competitive timeframe where, when an act ends, the battle pass gets reset and a new agent or map is released with the following act (most of the time). Three acts make up an episode and are all of around two months each, meaning an episode lasts for around six months.

Additionally, every episode brings a new cinematic trailer that ties into the lore of Valorant. To keep you all up to date, we will also be including official Youtube links to watch them after discussing the episodes themselves.

No matter what side you’re on, Eloking has you covered.

Having started back on the 10th of January, it has since been going on for quite some months and is expected to end around the middle of June. However, there has not been any exact ending date as of yet.

Similar to most of the previous Episodes, Revelation brought with it three acts. The first act introduced a brand new map named Lotus. This map made a bunch of changes to the game, and now has a completely unique set of best agents to use on Lotus.

Additionally, the Agent Gekko game in Act 2, while a brand new game mode called Premier was in Act 3. At the time of writing, this Episode is still going on and is estimated to have around a month until it ends.

Revelation also brought with it a brand new cinematic that can be seen here.

The Act currently ongoing is Episode 6’s Act 3. Similar to the second act of Episode 4, however, it did not come with any new map or agent, but it did come with a game mode called Premier. Starting on April 25th, 2023, it is estimated to run till the middle of June, with many players predicting the 27th of June to be the exact date.
