The highly anticipated Valorant 13.02 update is just a week away, and it’s all set to introduce a brand-new game mode to the tactical shooter.
The upcoming Valorant game mode, named “All Random One Site: Replication,” brings a fresh spin on the existing AROS format by merging it with Replication, increasing the overall chaos the mode offers as every player locks the same random agent and battles it out on a single site.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Valorant 13.02 update and the new game mode ahead of its official release.
Valorant 13.02 Release Date
The Valorant 13.02 update is expected to hit the live servers on July 28, 2026. Note that this date is expected to vary based on your game’s region.
The brand-new AROS Replication game mode is also expected to go live on the same date.
New Valorant Game Mode Explained
The new All Random One Site: Replication game mode is expected to be a limited-time mode that will be playable in Valorant starting July 28th.
The new mode will see two teams battling it out in the classic AROS format, confined to a single site with a random Agent assigned each round. The twist comes from the Replication element: instead of every player getting a different Agent, the whole team is locked into playing the same one.
Abilities and ultimates are also enabled in this game mode, so expect to see some creative and chaotic plays in this upcoming Valorant game mode.
Note that Riot Games hasn’t officially unveiled the details of the AROS Replication mode at the time of writing. The company has also yet to disclose the full patch notes for the 13.02 update, so changes like Agent buffs and nerfs are still not known.
