Riot Games' players are eager to find out when does Valorant Act 3 start.

With some players seemingly satisfied with all that Act 2 had to offer—at least in the way of cosmetics, Escalation game mode, Viper buffs, and the newest hero: Astra—the community is turning its eyes toward the horizon in preparation for Act 3. Riot has taken the liberty of teasing bits and pieces about what's coming next likely in an effort to build the hype.

Here's when to expect the next act to kick off.

Valorant Act 3 Start Date

Valorant Episode 2, Act 3 will begin on Tuesday, April 27. This is when Act 2 officially concludes, so it makes sense that Act 3 will pick up on its heels.

According to Riot's official Valorant Twitter account, players can look forward to a tropical seaside getaway with a brand new map. It's currently being referred to as "Breeze," although its always possible that the developers will have a different name for it on launch day. It will be the sixth map in the game to date.

Additionally, as is traditional with a new section of content, players should be able to purchase a new battle pass full of cosmetic skins, emblems, weapons, and more. None have been confirmed at the time of writing, however.
