Riot Games has announced the release of a new map, Corrode, for its popular first-person shooter game, VALORANT. The map will be available on June 25, 2025, and will be set in a French castle town transformed into a radianite salt mining facility. Corrode will feature two spike sites, a 5v5 layout, layered defenses, and fall-back positions, and is designed to reduce overwhelming ability aggression.

The new map will be immediately available in the competitive pool, and players will lose 50% less RR for losses on Corrode for the first two weeks. Swiftplay will also have a dedicated Corrode queue from June 25 to June 30. Alongside the new map, Riot Games is releasing the Phaseguard Collection, a skinline that embodies cutting-edge technology and tactical precision. The collection includes skins for the Vandal, Outlaw, Ghost, Bulldog, and a new melee weapon, the Splitter.

The new Battlepass will feature items such as the 5 Years: Kill All Radiants Card, Bonsai Gun Buddy, ATLAS // CMD Vandal, and more. VALORANT is a free-to-play game that is optimized to perform on a wide variety of PC and console platforms. The game is committed to preserving the core tenets of the tactical shooter genre and upholding the competitive integrity of the gameplay experience across all available platforms.
