Act 2 is coming to a close, which means Season 2026 Act 3 is the next big thing for Valorant players. Now that Riot has shared a few details on the new act, along with some of the recent leaks, we have a good idea of what's coming this time.
To help you prepare correctly, and while we wait for more announcements, here is all the information we have on Act 3.
When Does Valorant Season 2026 Act 3 Start?
Season 2026 Act 3 of Valorant is scheduled to release on Wednesday, April 29, or Thursday, April 30, depending on your region. Patch 12.08 will add the new content to the files and will be released a day early.
According to leaker Valohabercisi on X, the new act will last 55 days, just around the same time as Act 2. Given the additions expected for this act, it would seem that Riot might be preparing a bigger act afterwards, bringing more content to the game, hence the short Act 3.
New Bundle: Kuronami 2.0
One of the major additions from this upcoming act is the Kuronami 2.0 bundle, which was leaked before patch 12.07 rolled out.
The second iteration will add more cosmetics to the fan-favorite skinline, originally released in 2024. The same leaker revealed that the following weapons will receive a skin with this bundle: Phantom, Guardian, Ghost, Operator, and Melee.
