Valorant Episode 8 Act 3 Release Date

The Valorant Episode 8 Act 3 went live on Tuesday 30 April at around 2 pm PST (5 pm ET / 10 pm GMT).

As usual, after the Valorant Episode 8 Act 2 ended, servers went down for maintenance for a brief period, to make sure the Valorant Episode 8 Act 3 went live without any issues.

Episode 8 Act 3 Battle Pass

A new Battle Pass has arrived alongside Episode 8 Act 3, and players will be able to acquire it for 1000 VP. This Battle Pass brings many rewards such as new skins, player cards, sprays, gun buddies, and more.

Episode 8 Act 3 introduced three new skin lines, which are called Comet, Tacti-Series, and Cloudweaver.

The Comet skinline has four color variants, green, red, pink, and purple, and the skin design is impressive. It has skins for the Ghost, Odin, Spectre, Vandal, and melee. This skin looks great and is among the best skin lines a Valorant Battle Pass has ever introduced.

The Tacti-Series skin line is one you can easily guess it's from a Valorant Battle Pass. It's a more common skin, with no color variants, and all weapons have the same design pattern, it has skins for the Classic, Guardian, Frenzy, and Marshal. Despite that, it still has some unique aspects that some players might enjoy.

As for the Cloudweaver skin line, it's very similar to the Celestial one, but with a slightly different color scheme. The Cloudweaver skins look great, and they will be available for the Stinger, Shorty, Sherif, and Outlaw.

Episode 8 Act 3 New Content

As mentioned above, this new Act will bring new and exciting content. This is great news as Valorant has felt a little stale as of late, so hopefully this can revitalize the game.

There is a good chance that a new map will arrive at the game during Episode 8 Act 3. A player card of the new map has recently been leaked, which can indicate its arrival is closer than expected.
