The current act is coming to an end, along with the major Masters Bangkok 2025 championship in Valorant. This means that a large-scale update is on the horizon, bringing not only new cosmetic items but much more. In this article, we will go over everything known about patch 10.04 and share our predictions.

What Will Change in Patch 10.04?

The official patch notes have not been released yet, but several key details are already known:

• Competitive map pool update: Abyss and Bind will be removed. Icebox and Ascent will return to the active rotation.
• New Battle Pass: As usual, players will receive a set of exclusive skins, accessories, and other cosmetic items.
• Shop update: The Neptune collection will be removed from sale, hinting at the arrival of a new skin bundle.
• New agent: The biggest addition is expected to be a new duelist, rumored to be revealed during the grand final of Masters Bangkok 2025. The agent's release will likely coincide with patch 10.04.
• Agent balance changes: The last balance update for agents was quite some time ago. Some speculate that Riot deliberately held back balance tweaks to avoid impacting pro play during Masters Bangkok 2025. After the tournament, we can expect buffs and nerfs for certain agents—possibly influenced by championship results.

We'll find out what exactly awaits us in the 10.04 patch very soon in the official announcement from Riot Games, so follow our portal to make sure you don't miss it.
