Riot Games has announced an upcoming release of a brand new VALORANT map with multiple images leading up to it, bringing great joy to many fans. The official teaser should follow in a few days.

It’s been quite a while since VALORANT players got a new map, but now, there is finally some good news!

Riot Games developers announced the release of a brand new map with a post on January 1st, making it the perfect start to the new year. This means that there is another stage that offers players a whole lot of content to enjoy for a while.

Map comes with new mechanics

It has already been announced that the new VALORANT map will have new mechanics. Riot Games developer Joe Lansford explained in a RedBull Twitch stream in early December:

“It’s gonna have a new mechanic. It’s not too crazy. It’s not teleporters. But there will be a new mechanic. It’s going to be similar to another map in the pool. That’s all [I can say].”

Nothing has been added since then, until a few days ago, when the new teaser images started appearing on the internet.

Riot teasers with pictures

The first of those startling revelations came on the first day of 2023, when Riot released a dark but beautiful image. While there are few clues, we can assume that the backdrop of the new location is in a big city in front of some skyscrapers. Just one day later, the fans were surprised again, because a second teaser followed in which Riot gave another look at the map. This time from an indoor space where Omen is working on maintaining a facility.

We’ll get more information soon

As of now, much to the disappointment of fans, there hasn’t been an official gameplay trailer or reveal, but apparently, it’s coming soon. According to a Twitter post on the official VALORANT Twitter account, we’ll probably see a proper reveal trailer as soon as in two days — on Thursday, January 5.

According to some other VALORANT leaker accounts, we should see the first footage of gameplay on the first weekend of the new year.

As for the map’s release date, the VALORANT leaker account stated that it will be released in a week, on Tuesday, January 10. We are sure that we will hear and see more from Riot and learn more details in the coming days.
