NEW MAP IN VALORANT

Pearl, the new Valorant map, arrives in Episode 5 Act 1, which is set underwater near the coast of Portugal, with a three-lane structure. Riot Games developers are bringing a new map after a long time since Fracture was released in September 2021, last year. The new Valorant map is a wonder beneath the waves, with multiple pathways to the sites and a chaotic mid. This is the first map from Omega Earth or Earth-2 from the game's mirrorverse lore.

Unlike most Valorant maps, Pearl doesn't have any unique features like ziplines, doors, ropes, or teleporters. The map is designed with a traditional three-lane design. It does not have any mechanical hooks, eradicating the need for strategic gameplay.The new underwater map has a cooler colour palette, bringing a night map-like feel to Riot Games' tactical shooter players. Moreover, the map has as lot of hiding spots and angles that one needs to cover. Hence, to alert the team instantly, one needs to be good with callouts in Pearl.
