Look Sports Media – Riot Games’ five-year anniversary trailer for Valorant’s Season 2025 Act 3, released on X, has sent ripples of excitement through the community. The celebratory video, showcasing highlights, new season updates, and the battle pass, subtly teased what appears to be a brand-new twelfth map. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted fleeting glimpses of an unfamiliar environment, sparking immediate speculation across social media.
The trailer, a nostalgic journey through Valorant’s history since its June 2020 launch, includes two brief but intriguing scenes around the 25-second mark featuring Phoenix and Astra seemingly engaging in gameplay within an uncharted location. While Riot Games remains tight-lipped, the distinct visual aesthetic strongly suggests a fresh map is on the horizon.
The ambiguity hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm. Prominent esports organizations, like Fnatic, have amplified the buzz, sharing screenshots on X with suggestive captions like "New map???" The UK Valorant scene, in particular, is abuzz with anticipation, as a new map could significantly impact the competitive landscape for teams such as Fnatic and Team Liquid in the VCT. Comments on social media range from "looks different" to more pointed observations pinpointing specific seconds where the potential new map is visible.

The launch of Valorant Act 3 in Europe, complete with a new battle pass, skin bundle, and the Duo’s Day Bundle, further fuels the speculation. This, coupled with patch 10.08’s Yoru nerfs and the introduction of skin gifting, creates a whirlwind of activity surrounding the game. Riot’s announcement of special anniversary rewards, culminating on June 2nd, 2025, only adds to the mystery.
While the trailer hints at a potential Act 3 debut, or a later 2025 release, many believe the official confirmation might coincide with the upcoming Masters Toronto event next month. With Tejo’s recent introduction and the arrival of Thai agent Waylay during Masters Bangkok, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for a major reveal. Will this be the year Valorant expands its map pool? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the community is holding its breath.
