India, Oct. 8 -- Valorant by Riot Games is getting new map sets for Act 3. Act 3 opens cold, with a new map set in the arctic wilderness: Icebox .

Moving Icebox up from Episode 2 does come with a trade-off: Valorant is delaying the release of their newest Agent for two weeks (one patch cycle) after the start of Act III. Simply put, Valorant's last few patches haven't been the most stable, and the devs know that players want Icebox . Delaying the release of a new Agent allows the devs to better handle any issues that might emerge when launching alongside Patch 1.10.

A new map that's ice cold, an update about our next Agent, upcoming competitive changes, and more. Get the info on what's coming when Act III drops on October 13th and beyond...
