It's been about 3 years since Riot Games' first FPS, Valorant, was officially released and since then we have seen many Episodes and Acts. Here is a recap just for you.
Valorant players have been treated to a series of free content drops through various seasons, offering an immersive and evolving gaming experience.
While the 5v5 tactical FPS game remains free to play, the introduction of Battle Passes and new seasons enables the development team to generate revenue and deliver even more engaging content.
Unveiling the Valorant Episodes
However, in Valorant, these content drops deviate from the traditional notion of seasons. Instead, the game introduces new Episodes approximately every 6 to 7 months. Each Episode is further divided into 3 Acts, with each Act spanning around 2 months. To date, Riot Games has released five episodes for Valorant, which are as follows:
- Episode 1: Ignition
- Episode 2: Formation
- Episode 3: Reflection
- Episode 4: Disruption
- Episode 5: Dimension
- Episode 6: Revelation
