Valorant Episode 5 is releasing soon and with that new battlepass, new skins and the new map 'PEARL' is coming into the game. 'Dimension' Episode 5 ACT 1 will be released on June 22nd.

A new rank will be also introduced called Ascendant in between Diamond and Immortal. This will increase the mmr threshold for reaching Immortal and Radiant.
