Riot Games has really killed it with Valorant. Its competitive scene is strong and it doesn’t look like Valorant is going away anytime soon. There’s plenty of updates coming and enough changes to the base formula to keep it fresh.
For some reason, Riot Games decided to skip update 2.10 and they’re going to introduce 2.11. This means they’ve spent more time improving the next iteration of the game and we’ve got everything you need to know right here.

LATEST – Valorant’s YR1 Event Pass
We know we’re still waiting for version 2.11, but it looks like that’s going to do more than just fix a few bugs. Valorant is celebrating Year One and there’s a lot on offer.
One way it is doing this is through the YR1 Event Pass. We don’t know exactly how this will play out, but we can imagine it’s going to be something similar to Apex Legends’ Event Rewards.
At the moment, all we do know is that the YR1 Event Pass is due to start on June 22nd and players will be able to unlock 7 tiers of free Rewards just for playing the game.

” No prerequisites, no VP spend, just 7 levels of exclusive YR1 items like the Episode 3 Player Card, a Gun Buddy, and more. Just play VALORANT, earn XP, and unlock.”
This is just one of the changes that should be introduced in Valorant version 2.11, if not version 2.12.
Valorant 2.11 Release Date
Over on Valorant’s Twitter, they gave a date for the next patch but made sure to not set that in stone. In this, they said, “The next update will be Patch 2.11, around June 8.”
The word “around” is used to make sure readers understand this is an estimate. We can’t guarantee we will see it on the 8th, but it will likely arrive around then.

What Does This Mean?
First, as Yoru was recently disabled, due to technical issues, we might see a rework of their character going into the future to stop those mistakes from happening again. He was re-added on May 18, but people are still testing out what he can do.
Next, we should see some updates to the base game itself. The tweet mentioned that they are currently updating the engine. While this won’t have any huge repercussions, we could see small changes in the meta, especially as Yoru finds himself being played a little more.
Essentially, like any update, this should provide some fixes to issues alongside a few minor changes.
