We are getting treated to the arrival of Agent 27, Tejo, very soon, and they will be accompanied by a brand new battle pass as well as the introduction of Flex. While it would usually be considered Episode 10 Act 1, it is technically not the case thanks to changes from Riot. Here you will find an explanation for these massive changes as part of the Valorant 2025 roadmap. The release time for Tejo and the new battle pass is set, and the new agent looks ridiculously cool as emphasised in the gameplay trailer from Riot. They are branded as the 27th agent amongst the roster gallery, and they are following in the footsteps of Clove and Vyse, who joined in 2024. Riot introducing a new playable character is the perfect way to start the new year, and the developer has also announced some massive changes that drastically alter Valorant and its 2025 roadmap. Valorant 2025 roadmap The Valorant 2025 roadmap is different than any other year as Riot is abandoning the format of Episodes. Instead of Episodes, Riot Games multiplayer shooter is now turning to yearly seasons, and this is Season 2025 a.k.a. V25. As part of the new seasonal format, Riot will still be releasing acts, and there will be six acts per year. Each of these acts will represent meaningful periods of gameplay like they do now such as ranked, battlepasses, map rotations and Premier stages. Theres no mention of how long each act will last, but they should be roughly two months considering Riot plans to release six each year. In addition to six acts per year, Riot has confirmed that they are moving Valorant Champions down the calendar to October to create much better overall pacing.For the first half of 2025, Riot has confirmed they plan to implement balance changes for agents. So far Riot has only announced power budget redistribution around Isos kit along with adjusting Deadlock to have more aggressive potential.
