Whenever Riot introduces a new Agent or map to Valorant, the excitement among the community continues to grow, resulting in a temporary increase in the player count. While Sunset was the tenth map to be added to Valorant, it will soon be replaced by Map 11 as the newest addition.
In light of that, here is all the information we have about the recently released Valorant map.
Map 11 release date for Valorant
The upcoming Valorant map will be released in the 8.11 update on June 11. Prior to the Grand Final of the VCT Masters Shanghai on June 9, a Showmatch will take place on the new map featuring professional players and content creators.

Despite only one official confirmation, leaks swiftly surfaced revealing further details, including the map’s name. According to the X account VALORANTLeaksEN, the upcoming map will be known as Abyss. Based on a previous Battle Pass reward mentioned on Twitter, it is speculated that this new map will be vertical in design and potentially have an underground component.

If this hypothesis proves to be correct, “Abyss”would mark the debut of a vertical map in Valorant. Drawing on similarities with other tactical shooters, it is possible that this map could resemble Counter-Strike 2’s Nuke, featuring two bomb sites stacked on top of each other.
Ultimately, it is crucial to keep in mind that these are mere hearsay and conjectures, thus it would be wise to approach them with caution and await official confirmations from Riot Games. Mark your calendars for June 9, as the inaugural showmatch on this exciting new Valorant map will be taking place. Remember to set your alarms and tune in to Riot’s authorized platforms for all the action.
While anticipating further updates, keep in mind that Valorant provides several skin bundles to showcase in games. These skins can be obtained through the Valorant Battle Pass, purchased as a complete bundle, or individually selected for your preferred weapons. If a skin doesn’t meet your expectations, you can always request a refund on the official website.
