Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 release date
Since the Valorant Episode 6 Act 3 Battle Pass will come to an end on June 26, 2023, the new Episode will start the following day. Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 release date is going to be June 27, 2023, and players will be able to dive into the game after short server maintenance. The server maintenance is done so that the updates get rolled out smoothly and players don’t have troubles when the new Act goes live.
The first act is likely to last for two months, after which, Act 2 will begin, marking the second phase of Episode 7.
When will the Episode 7 Act 1 server update?
After Act 3 ends, players will get a few hours to play the game and then the servers will be taken down for maintenance. The servers will be taken down on June 27, 2023, for a few hours and will go live again on the same day. This is done to prevent players from entering games while the update is being done.
Players who are eager to know the details about when the servers get updated can keep a tab on the official Valorant Service Status page or the game’s official Twitter handle to stay updated anytime the servers are taken down.
New TDM mode
Rumor had it that a new variation on the Team Deathmatch would make its way into the game. Now, the developers have announced a new TDM mode with a lot of new additions that will make its way into Episode 7.
The game is going to be a fast-paced mode and would allow players to choose from all the weapons, Agents and would also allow them to use their abilities. The best addition to the mode is the new maps that are specifically made for the mode.
Recent revealations from the devs showed more details regarding the new TDM mode. It features three new maps all derived from existing maps. The new maps are:
- District
- Piazza
- Kasbah
Players will get to choose their loadout for each stage at the start of the match or anytime they’re in the spawn room. Weapon spawners will also be placed around the map as well as recovery and ultimate orbs. With four timed stages, no econ, and players respawning every 1.5 seconds, the key to victory is simple: the first team to get 100 kills wins.
Progression update
In the upcoming Episode 7 Act I update, Riot will introduce new progressions systems as well. In the light of change, the daily missions tab is getting an update. New milestones for daily challenges called Checkpoints are being added.
Also, a new free in-game currency called Kingdom Coins will come. And it can be used to exchange with battle pass content you might have missed. It can also be used to unlock Agent recruitment events and more.
Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 Battle Pass
Just like previous seasons, Episode 7 Act 1 will also come with a new Battle Pass. Players will get BP-exclusive rewards and skins. These rewards are not yet confirmed but will be interesting. The new Battle Pass will cost the players 1000 VP, which is roughly $9.99. Players will be able to purchase it when the update comes out.
