VALORANT launches ‘Summit,’ a Chinese-inspired competitive map

VALORANT has unveiled Summit, its 13th standard map, set in a Chinese town on Omega Earth, during the Masters London Grand Final between Paper Rex and LEVIATÁN.

Fans got their first look at the map through a showmatch between content creator Megan “Megsoundslikeegg” Garner of FNATIC and Arjeta “Ailincia” Hoxha of HEROIC.

Summit is set in a Radiant training academy within China’s mountains and will feature two Spike Sites, a three-lane layout, and a new mechanic in droppable walls.  

During the first two weeks, players lose 50% less RR for losses on Summit, but still gain 100% RR for wins to help them get in and practice the map in a competitive setting without the fear of deranking.

This map will be live at Season 2026 // Act 4 on June 24.
