Riot Games and Valorant have done it again, pushing the envelope of competitive gaming with the unveiling of their latest map, Abyss. Launching on June 11, 2024, this map is a game-changer in every sense.

For the first time in Valorant history, players will navigate a map with no boundaries, opening up a whole new realm of strategic possibilities. Abyss demands a fresh approach, encouraging players to think creatively about how to use their utility and movement in exciting and unexpected ways.

Abyss transports players to the secretive lair of the Scions of the Hourglass, a shadowy organization of assassins. This base is no ordinary hideout—it's perched precariously at the world's edge, hidden within a dangerous chasm. The environment is as treacherous as it is thrilling, with vertical gameplay and risky pitfalls adding a new layer of intensity.

Map Highlights

• 2 Spike Sites: Classic objective points that will be hotly contested.

• 3 Lane Layout: Offering multiple paths and strategies to approach or defend.

• “Death Drops”: Unforgiving drops that spell instant death, demanding precise movement.

• Creative “Jump Shortcuts”: Innovative pathways that reward daring maneuvers.

• Branching mid paths: Complex mid-section that allows for strategic depth and varied gameplay.

As players gear up to explore Abyss, there's also a philanthropic opportunity at hand. The 2024 Give Back Bundle is still live until June 12, allowing players to acquire stylish weapon skins and accessories while supporting a good cause. With 50% of proceeds from weapon skins and 100% from accessories going to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, gamers can make a tangible difference while enhancing their in-game arsenal.

The countdown to June 11 is on. Ready to take the plunge into the Abyss?
