New card hit: Corrode brings a breath of fresh air to VALORANT!
The gaming world is looking forward to June 25, 2025, as it marks the start of an exciting new era for VALORANT with Act IV of the 2025 Season. A key highlight is the introduction of the new map “Corrode,” which takes players into the dystopian environment of a climatically damaged version of Omega Earth. The map is not only visually impressive, but also strategically diverse, as meinbezirk.at reports.
Based on a historic French castle, Corrode transforms this beautiful setting into an industrial Radianite salt mine. With a 3-lane layout and two spike locations, the map offers exciting new challenges. The design focuses on minimizing the overwhelm of aggressive abilities, creating a more balanced experience, appsgadget.com notes.
A captivating start
The first two weeks in ranked mode have a special treat in store: players competing on Corrode only lose half of their rank point (RR) if they lose, while they can reap the full reward if they win. In addition, Corrode will be included in the competitive pool immediately, so that the professionals don't lose any time in figuring out the new strategy games, as meinbezirk.at reports.
The big Masters Toronto tournament has now come to a successful conclusion, and the winners of Paper Rex shoulder the title with pride. Another celebration is just around the corner, as the regional VCT leagues start in mid-July, where the new map will be the main focus.
Styling and new content
To celebrate the new content portfolio, Riot Games is also unveiling the Phaseguard skin line, which will be available on June 26th. These new skins, including the Vandal, Outlaw, Ghost and Bulldog weapons, boast unique reload animations. Even the melee weapon “Splinter” gets a fresh design. A prize of 9,900 Valorant Points makes the collection accessible to fans, as appsgadget.com points out.
In addition, the new Battlepass contains great extras such as the “5 Years: Kill All Radiants Card” and the “Bonsai Gun Buddy”. Players can look forward to the ATLAS // CMD Vandal, which can be found along with other collectibles in the new Battlepass.
With the launch of Act IV, Swiftplay will also be enriched with a special queue that will be available for Corrode from June 25th to 30th. However, it remains unclear for the time being whether and how the map will be included in the upcoming Esports World Cup, as meinbezirk.at reports.
Conclusion: VALORANT fans can look forward to an exciting summer full of new adventures and challenges. With the new Corrode map, fresh skins and upcoming leagues, nothing stands in the way of an exciting time in the gaming universe!
