A new map is alleged to be replacing the current map Split with the new map Pearl. Which is scheduled to go live on 22 June 2022 with the new Episode 5 Act 1: Dimension. India will have to wait for it a little more. As the update goes live at around 11 AM PT. Riot Games has been teasing its new map for some time now. The biannual mega-event that Riot games have been gearing up for, every new Episode is a big event. Because a new Episode rollout means bigger changes. It is a very surprising move by Valorant to remove its most sought-after map from the map pool.

This move might be to force people to use the new map and appreciate it. The new map Pearl is set in a Parallel world Omega earth which was struck by widespread natural disasters and is set to be post-crisis earth. This is an underwater map this further strengthens the lore of the game and makes it more realistic. The basic setup of attackers and defenders will implement that the attackers who plant spike bombs want to destroy the city and submerge it in water.

New Rank in Valorant Episode 5 Act 1 Dimension

A new rank has been introduced to increase the distance between silver and Immortal. The new rank is called “Ascendant”. This will be placed between Diamond and Immortal rank. This will lengthen the grind and create a new step for climbing the rank ladder. As there is a saturation of players holding the Immortal rank and a wipe just doesn’t cut it. The game had to introduce a new rank to reduce that overcrowding.
