Valorant to Debut Corrode, a Flooded Industrial Map, on June 25

The map features waterlogged lanes, dynamic environmental storytelling, special Swiftplay access through June 30 plus reduced rank penalties in initial competitive matches.

Overview

  • Corrode enters both competitive and Swiftplay rotations on June 25 with smoother rank-point losses for defeats during its first two weeks of play.
  • A dedicated Swiftplay queue featuring only Corrode will run from June 25 to June 30 to help players master its layout.
  • The three-lane design emphasizes mid-control with shallow water zones that alter movement sounds and layered vertical angles for tactical engagements.
  • Dynamic elements such as moving trains and an ATLAS carrier deepen Valorant’s lore by making each round feel part of a larger narrative.
  • Agents like Viper, Cypher and Raze are poised to excel on Corrode, and Riot will roll out a Phaseguard skin bundle plus a new battle pass alongside the map.
