Abyss is finally making its return to Valorant!
The fan-favorite map, which was removed from the competitive pool of Valorant in Patch 10.04, will be returning to the ranked queues with the upcoming Season 25 Act 4 update.
After being initially added to the FPS title in June 2024, Abyss stayed in the competitive map rotation for roughly six months before being removed alongside Bind. While players were still able to enjoy the map in other game modes like Swiftplay and Unrated, many expressed frustration at the map being removed from the competitive queues in such a short span of time.
Abyss Returning To Valorant Competitive Map Rotation
Now, after another six months since its removal, leaks from prominent Valorant dataminers suggest that Abyss is set to return to the competitive map pool with the upcoming Season 25 Act 4 update.
Note that Riot Games has yet to officially confirm the return of Abyss to Valorant’s competitive mode, so take this leak with a grain of salt.
For the same reason, it’s still unclear which existing map Abyss might replace in the current competitive rotation.
Below, we have listed the current competitive map pool of Valorant before the Season 25 Act 4 changes:
- Ascent
- Haven
- Icebox
- Lotus
- Pearl
- Split
- Sunset
