Riot Games is adding new content regularly to the game to keep players engaged and hyped up about the game, and this year is no different. We have already gotten two new agents, Gekko & Deadlock, along with a new map, Lotus, and Riot has already confirmed that we will be getting a new Duelist as well.
However, this is not it, as recent leaks by KLaboratories have revealed that another map is coming to Valorant this year, and it will be happening sooner than expected. Here is everything we know about Valorant's new map, including its release date, available teasers, location, and more.
Everything We Know About Valorant's New Map
KLaboratories leaked a few weeks ago that the next Valorant map will be based in Los Angeles, Gekko's home country, and to support this fact, one of the in-game emails mention coordinates — 34.029571, -118.211540 that take us to LA in California.
Apart from this, KLaboratories have also leaked a couple of teasers for the map, and you can have a look at it below:

While sharing the Golden Hour playercard teaser the map, the leaker shared that we can expect the official trailer to drop on August 28 if there aren't any changes in Riot's plans which means that we can expect the New Valorant Map to drop with the release of Episode 7 Act 2.
KLaboratories has also revealed that the codename for the map could be "El Dorado or something like that;" however, there is no official name revealed.
Trailer do novo mapa deve ser dia 28/08, se nada mudar.

No trailer, devemos ver um mapa em Los Angeles ao pôr do sol. Não me surpreenderia se o nome do mapa ou codename fosse "El Dorado" ou algo do gênero. 🫣
