Episodes will provide Riot with a chance to make larger changes to Valorant, according to Donlon, including the addition of new mechanics or additional maps.
While Episodes are where the largest changes to the game are likely to come in, Donlon notes that this doesn’t mean there won’t be major iterations and changes during Acts, just that they’ll likely be less common than the big changes that will always come with new Episodes.
In Valorant’s more immediate future, Donlon let fans know that there are a few quality-of-life changes on the way in the next few patches.
Donlon mentions that if fans think content is coming too quickly or too slowly, Riot’s open to adjusting the pace.
