About Valorant
Valorant is a free-to-play tactical hero shooter game made by Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends. It’s a blend of shooting skills and strategic thinking, with characters (called Agents) who have unique abilities that you can use to help your team win. Matches are fast-paced and intense, with only one life per round for each player. You can play in several modes, including Competitive, where you climb the ranked ladder, or Unrated for a more casual experience.
Valorant New Map Abyss Revealed at VCT Masters Shanghai!
The eagle-eyed folks at ValorantLeaksEN on Twitter spilled the beans (or should we say, seawater?) on the map’s name: Abyss. This aquatic moniker certainly suggests an underwater or subterranean environment, which aligns with a teaser image leaked back in March. The image showcased an agent rappelling down a massive hole in the ground, leading to what appeared to be an ancient tomb.
The official unveiling of Abyss will take place on June 9th during the Valorant VCT Masters Shanghai Tournament. Witness the map come to life in a showmatch featuring Team CN versus Team INTL. Here’s how to catch the action live:
- Date: June 9th
- Time: 12:00 AM PT / 3:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM BST
- Stream: Official Valorant eSports website (https://valorantesports.com/)
Unfortunately, details about the map’s layout, strategic opportunities, or gameplay elements remain under wraps. However, the name “Abyss” and the previous teaser strongly suggest a unique environment with a focus on verticality and potentially underground sections.
The wait for Valorant’s newest map is nearly at an end. Tune in to the VCT Masters Shanghai on June 9th to witness the official reveal of Abyss and prepare to strategize your next competitive conquest!
