When Does Valorant Episode 8 Start?

The Episode 7 Act 3 will come to an end on 9th January and the Episode 8 Act 1 is slated to begin on January 10, 2024, at specific times across various time zones​​.

Valorant is renowned for continually evolving its gameplay, and Episode 8 Act 1 is expected to follow suit. Speculations suggest introducing a new Agent, map tweaks, and numerous balance changes.

• Guardrail Skinline: Featuring a simplistic black and golden design, this skinline offers a minimalistic yet elegant option​​.
• Tactiplay Skinline: Known for its unique, comical design, the Tactiplay Skinline stands out, though it might not appeal to everyone, especially those owning similar styles​​.
• Guardrail Hammer: An extension of the Guardrail Skinline, this hammer design maintains the line’s simplistic aesthetic​​.

The Battle Pass will include 13 different playercards, some teasing future developments in Valorant. One notable card is Omen’s, which hints at the new Outlaw Sniper weapon, rumored to have a significant impact on gameplay​​. The spray category will feature Sage, Chamber, and Jett, with Killjoy’s animated spray emerging as a fan favorite​​.
