In 2025, VALORANT will be five years old. That's right, the game is already in its ninth Episode and there are no signs of slowing down. So, what is the release date for VALORANT Episode 9 Act 2? Of course, it is when Act 1 finishes at the end of August.

Let's go over the details and get you a countdown to the exact time it begins.

Before we get to Episode 9 Act 2's release date, Act 1 must come to its conclusion. Things may change depending on technical and scheduling aspects that Riot Games has to deal with. But if all goes according to plan, Act 1 ends on August 28 at 6 a.m. PT.

Here's a countdown to that exact moment:

At that time, the game will more than likely go down for maintenance to prepare for the next Act. As well, your Battle Pass will expire, so get all of the rewards while you still can.

So, what's the release date of VALORANT Episode 9 Act 2? It absolutely will be the same day as the end of Act 1, barring any mishaps that push it back. That means it'll arrive on August 28.

The time is up in the air, however. The maintenance will take place and no one will be able to play. Hopefully within just an hour or two, the servers open up and Act 2 can begin.

Then you'll get to experience everything that comes with the new Act. We already know about Vyse, VALORANT's newest Sentinel Agent. Then, of course, there will be a Battle Pass and a new skin collection as there is with every opening period of an Act.
