A brand-new Episode here, and with it comes the VALORANT 7.0 patch notes. Episode 7 is titled Evolution and truly looks to be changing the game as we know it.

There are a handful of bug fixes we'll touch on as well.

VALORANT 7.0 patch notes highlights

The VALORANT 7.0 patch notes aren't the longest we have ever had from Riot Games, but the update is certainly one driving the anticipation of the community. It's always an exciting time when a new Agent, game mode, or other significant changes arrive in VALORANT.

Deadlock

Deadlock is the latest Sentinel Agent to join the first-person shooter's roster of Radiants. She has many trapping abilities that can slow down enemies, block their path, or completely neutralizing them for a short amount of time.

Team Deathmatch

Riot Games teased Team Deathmatch for quite some time. Now, it's finally coming to VALORANT after an intense showmatch in the mode took place at VCT Masters Tokyo. The five-on-five mode has its own maps, ability usage timers, and much more.

Progression System

The Progression System might take a back seat to Deadlock and TDM in the VALORANT 7.0 patch notes, but it is a hefty update to the game. It brings in a new currency called Kingdom Credits, the accessory store with old Battlepass accessories to buy with those credits, and a new Agent Store.
