Since the start of the closed beta of Valorant, we've been asking ourselves: When will the Venice map we saw in the trailer finally arrive? In fact, according to some leaks, the map Ascent could go live soon.

Riot Games doesn't get tired and is pounding out one update after another for its FPS title Valorant. Although the tactical shooter is still in closed beta, the gameplay is still being tinkered with, agents reworked and new features are added. According to some leaks, there might be a map soon because something in the game has been changing for two days now.

A crack appeared in the training area in Valorant on May 13th - and of course, everyone is wondering: why? Riot themselves have not yet commented on it. But of course, there is wild speculation: Will a new agent arrive? Or will the Map Ascent come?

Maybe these cracks will be a kind of portal to get to a new map. Ascent seems likely here, after all the map with the Venice theme was already shown in the first trailer - including channels, bridges etc.

Presumably, the training area will develop further in the next days and then soon reveal its true reason. So we have to keep our fingers crossed for Ascent. Because what could be better than fighting your way through the picturesque, half-sunken city?

Until then, EarlyGame will provide you with further updates on Valorant and everything else from the gaming and esports world.
