Riot Games officially confirmed on Valorant's social networks the changes to the Icebox map, which were recently made known by insiders and dataminers from the game's community.
On January 4th, the Valorant developers posted an image showcasing the changes to the Icebox map, which had already appeared online a few days earlier thanks to insiders and dataminers. All the content provided by them has been officially confirmed by Riot Games.
The changes affected all points on the map, except for point A. Presumably, the developers consider it perfectly balanced, so they decided not to make any changes to it. More detailed information about the changes can be found in the attached images below.

Remember, the Icebox map will return to the competitive map pool, replacing Haven, which is set for a rework. These and other changes, details of which will be known later, are planned for the release of the 8th episode, which is expected to come out around January 10th, but the exact date may vary depending on the region.
