When is Valorant Episode 3 Act 3 expected to release?

Every Act in Valorant usually lasts for approximately two months and moves on to the next one. Act 2 was released globally on September 8. If Riot Games follows the same trend, it's expected that the final Act for Valorant's Episode 3 will be released somewhere around the first week of November.

Valorant Night Market went live on September 29. Based on the previous trend, the release of Night Market gives ACT 2 two weeks to end. The plausible scenario has sent fans into a tizzy.

However, this cannot be confirmed as Riot Games might extend the Act to allow players adequate time to grind for rewards.

There have already been multiple rumors regarding a new agent codenamed “Deadeye,” who was teased in the Valorant Year One Anthem video. Valorant has confirmed that the next agent coming to the game would be a Sentinel, who will focus on “mechanical outplay.”

Some fans have speculated that the agent's nationality is French, something that players have guessed based on the reveal video for the map Fracture.

Riot Games has keenly followed the trend of releasing one map and one agent per episode. However, there is a high chance that the new agent will be making his way into the game with the next update. The reason being that, Deadeye was teased in the Year One Anthem video just like the map Fracture, which was released with Act 2.
