Recently, well-known insider Mike ValorLeaks shared new details about the upcoming Sunset map. As a reminder, the map will be released in the game client on August 30th, and all details of the new location will be revealed by the end of the Valorant Champions 2023.

The most significant part of the new information is the image of the map itself. The design of Sunset looks like a regular city, and it's no surprise since, according to the developers, the map is styled after Los Angeles, where the world championship is currently taking place.

According to the insider, the map will have several features. Firstly, there will only be 2 spike plant sites, making it compact and similar to older maps. Also, Sunset will not have any special tricks; there won't be any portals like on Bind or ziplines like on Fracture, only straightforward gameplay. This will simplify the map for learning, as there won't be many things that casual players often forget. It's worth noting that Riot Games recently brought Breeze back into the map pool after 8 months of map adjustments. This fate also awaits Fracture and Pearl; these maps will be removed from the general map pool after the start of Act 2, Episode 7. Read more about this in our article.

There's also a new short video dedicated to the new map, the third of its kind. In it, Sova and Brimstone are observing a projection, most likely of the Sunset map. But beneath it, there's a peculiar pink structure that looks like a portal. It's still unclear what lies beneath the map, but players interested in the game's lore will surely find the answer soon.

Recall that the map was announced by Riot Games a few days ago, and they promised that from the announcement until the end of Valorant Champions 2023, i.e., until August 26th, they would reveal new details about Sunset daily. We analyzed the announcement, so you can read more about it in our material.
