What’s new in the upcoming Act?
Since Episode 10 Act 1 is several weeks away, there’s no crucial information/leaks available for the upcoming update. It usually becomes available when we get closer to the release and Riot Games drops hints about the new content.
However, it’s safe to assume that the upcoming Act will bring a brand-new battle pass featuring a wide range of new skins. Surprisingly, it seems like VALORANT devs have accidentally leaked their upcoming agent in the latest video in which they explained the balance changes of patch 9.10.
However, at the 0:42 timestamp, you can see a tiny icon of an unknown female agent that can potentially be a part of the upcoming character roster.
