Riot has postponed patches in the past by a week so this isn’t something totally new, but to delay a patch to work solely on the game engine is definitely interesting, to say the least.
This means there will be no major update to the game till VALORANT’s first LAN tournament takes place in REYKJAVIK on May 24th-30th. Masters Reykjavík is the second major event of the 2021 VALORANT Champions Tour.
Patch 2.11 Release Date:
Riot Games hasn’t made any further comment regarding exactly what they are doing to improve the game’s engine, as of writing. Rumors suggest it might just be a slight optimization being done in the backend.
