A new Valorant Map?

The WWFEST has teased the location as inspired by the world of Valorant. The CrownChannel has also shared a map of the arena.

Based on the teaser images, it seems to be an industrial-type design. However, no current map of Valorant features such a setting.

On a previous live stream, Game Director Joseph Ziegler discussed the potential of new maps. Even if the original plan was for one map per episode, the team wants to release at least seven maps for the map pool as soon as possible.

Bind, Haven, and Split launched with the game, while Ascent and Icebox were added post-launch. The devs added Ascent with Episode 1 Act 1 and Icebox with Episode 1 Act 3. A new map can possibly arrive with Episode 2 Act 2.

Whether a new map is teased during WWFEST or not, Riot will likely add a new arena this year.
