It has been a while since Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant received a new map. The latest map, Breeze, was added to the title on April 27, 2021 alongside the release of Episode 2 Act 2. However, it seems like a new Valorant map might be nearing its release as Dataminers have dug up game files that may hint towards the upcoming map of the shooter.
Prominent Valorant dataminers ‘floxay’ and ‘Mike’ have managed to dig deep into the game files to find hints towards the next Valorant map. While the finer details are still unknown to us, the codename for the new Valorant map is expected to be ‘Canyon’, as revealed by the dataminers.
However, the name for the upcoming map hasn’t been confirmed by Riot Games themselves. The codename is currently only a speculation, but fans can expect to know more about the map in the near future.
Valorant New Map ‘Canyon’ Release Date
While no specific release date has been set in stone as of yet, we do have a general idea on when the new map might make its appearance on the live servers.
Judging by Riot Games’ history of releasing new maps alongside the third episode of each Act, the new map ‘Canyon’ is expected to launch with Episode 3 Act 3.
For reference, the controversial map Icebox was released with Episode 1 Act 3, while Breeze hit the live servers alongside Episode 2 Act 3.
