VALORANT Patch 8.11 will have a significant impact on Riot Games' tactical FPS title through major changes to two community focuses: agent balancing and the map pool.
New LEAKED Ascent Map Changes
Based on the timing of the patch and the length of episodes in VALORANT, this will likely be the last patch before the launch of Episode Nine. But while new episodes typically bring big changes, the final patch for Episode Eight looks set to introduce some massive changes as well.
Riot has confirmed that VALORANT Patch 8.11 will release in "early June," following the conclusion of the Masters Shanghai tournament. Given that Masters Shanghai ends on June 9 and patch days are typically Tuesdays, the most likely, but unconfirmed, release date for Patch 8.11 is Tuesday, June 11.
However, Riot could push the patch out in the first week of June, while Masters Shanghai is in progress, and keep the pros on the old patch while the larger global player base plays the new patch. But June 11th still feels like the heavy favorite for Patch 8.11's potential release date.
