With the release of the highly anticipated Valorant Season 2026 Act 6 update just around the corner, the map pool for the upcoming patch has seemingly been leaked online.
As per a recent leak from prominent Valorant dataminer valohabercisi, players may have to bid farewell to two iconic maps while welcoming back two that aren’t exactly fan favorites.
According to the leaker, Corrode and Bind will be making a return to Valorant’s competitive map pool with the Season 2026 Act 6 update.
Bind, one of Valorant’s original maps, is known for its unique teleporters and its two-site layout with no mid-lane. Corrode’s inclusion, on the other hand, has already drawn mixed reactions from the community, with many players voicing their frustration over the map in previous rotations.
The X post further states that to make room for these two maps, Ascent and Split will be taken out of the active rotation.
Both of these maps have been fan favorites for years, and their removal will likely come as a disappointment to many players.
Should this leak turn out to be true, here’s what the updated map pool for Valorant V26A6 would look like:
- Abyss
- Bind
- Corrode
- Haven
- Lotus
- Summit
- Sunset
Note that the map pool change for Valorant V26A6 has not been confirmed by Riot Games as of yet, so be sure to take this news with a grain of salt.
