Riot Games is set to introduce Valorant EP8 AC2. Not much is known about the upcoming chapter as of writing, but fans should be excited. Not just because it’s a new chapter, but because leaks suggest we will get a new playable agent. Some are asking when does Valorant Episode 8 Act 2 start, and here is the release date along with when Act 1 ends.
Before the new chapter comes out, make sure you get the new Light Em’ Up spray from Amazon Prime Gaming. There’s still a while to claim it as it doesn’t expire until March 5th, but you can get it right now by linking your Riot Games account provided you are a Prime subscriber.
While the Light Em’ Up spray doesn’t expire until towards the end of March, you only have a few more days remaining to unlock everything part of the current EP8 AC1 battle pass. The release date for Episode 8 Act 2 is right around the corner, and fans should be excited.
