Just a week before the official release, Riot Games revealed Episode 5 Act 1 of Valorant<\/a>, and the new Pearl map is the centerpiece of the announcement. Valorant has been on a roll with new agents such as Neon, and as the player base continues to thrive within the tactical shooter, there are no signs of stopping for Riot Games.<\/p>\n

Episode 5 Act 1 brings Agents into a new era of Valorant in terms of narrative, and Omega Earth is brought into the fold. This gives way for Riot to start experimenting more with maps, and they are plenty of opportunities going forward. A ton of explanation won’t be needed though, because the new Episode and map come out this month.<\/p>\n

In both the Livestream and the new trailer for the Episode 5 Act 1 Pearl map in Valorant, a full release date was provided. On June 22, 2022, everyone can download the update and start jumping into the new content. Pearl is the main course of Episode 5, but it’s not the only content to look forward to.<\/p>\n

As expected, there is a new Battle Pass to accompany Episode 5 Act 1. Anyone who wants the pass will need to spend 1,000 VP, which is nothing new for a Battle Pass. It will include items such as weapon skins, player cards, and nearly every other type of cosmetic type in the game.<\/p>\n
