The two glimpses at a potential new map were part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VALORANT\/status\/1917594924733583809\">trailer<\/a>, showcasing the game\u2019s five-year journey leading to the new act.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-681898bc197c6\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The shown footage resembles the architecture of a typical VALORANT gun site, with an open space surrounded by high buildings. This could point towards a new map for competitive and unrated queue, rather than a Deathmatch-exclusive map.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-681898bc19d9a\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The style of the unknown location is reminiscent of an old town, featuring brick houses and towers with black shingles. Some of the rooftops are also covered in ice and snow.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-681898bc1a39b\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Moreover, it has already been nearly one year since the game\u2019s latest map, Abyss, was released on June 11th, 2024. Meanwhile, Riot has already introduced two new agents in quick succession this year, with Tejo in January and Waylay in March. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-681898bc1a963\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Many community members, therefore, expect the next major change to be a new map release.
