New Map Sets in India
VALORANT's new map Lotus has been announced. After a week of teasers and cinematic videos, Riot Games has finally announced Lotus. This is the 6th map added to the game with VALORANT's Chapter 9: Enlightenment update. The new map is a lost city in the West Indies brimming with Indian elements and rock architecture.
Lotus cards are inspired by traditional Indian stepwells, rock architecture and Dravid architecture. According to the map design team, the team wants players to experience the atmosphere of Indiana Jones while playing on fantasy and mystical themed maps. Lotus, which is a three-zone map like Haven, also features new mechanics such as revolving doors and destructible walls.
Lotus Consists of 3 Spike Zones
Based on gameplay features, maps are defined by a number of unique features. The game developer has said for the first time that VALORANT maps will include elements such as revolving doors, destructible doors and walls. Again, this map is similar to Haven with three different areas where attackers can place spikes.
Lotus maps contain various gauges and elements that provide an accurate visual representation of the Guardians in lore. However, these features are hidden and left out of the player base for players to explore and discover on their own.
Three different new mechanics were introduced in Lotus maps. Traditions found on Breeze and Fracture maps have revolving doors instead of sliding doors. Maps may contain new destructible doors or walls that can be affected by harmful abilities and projectiles. The Lotus Map will also include a new “Silent Fall” mechanic and you will be able to experience all three new mechanics for the first time in VALORANT.
Yam, one of VALORANT's chief designers, said: "He argued that Lotus' creativity and map design will satisfy VALORANT fans who want to explore every corner of the map. When will this anticipated new map be released?
When Will The New Map Lotus Be Added?
The coming days will be very exciting for VALORANT fans. VALORANT Episode 6: Enlightenment hits players on January 11, 2023, celebrating the finale in just a few days, bringing a new map and, of course, more action.
