Valorant Episode 10 Act 1: All Changes We Know So Far
From a new Agent and changes to the map pool to a fresh Battle Pass and an exciting skin bundle, there’s plenty to look forward to in the Valorant Episode 10 Act 1 update.
Details about the new Agent and his kit are still scarce, but we do know that he is from Colombia, as suggested by a teaser from Riot Games.
