What's next for Valorant?

Valorant's latest patch 4.06, was cancelled by Jeff Landa the day it was suppose to release worldwide to players, and now Valorant fans alike will have to wait an additonal week for a brand new patch.

With 4.06 being tossed aside, the next patch number 4.07 is going to have all the attention over the next little short while.

We're going to runover everything there is to know about Valorant patch 4.07, and hopefully this time around it doesn't get cancelled!

Release Date

Since 4.06 is technically cancelled, they're doing the patch number skip method that Riot does from time to time, so 4.07 is still going to take the void as the next patch being released for Valorant.

So, we can assume this will still remain on track to release April 12-13, 2022.
