Riot Games and VALORANT today revealed Corrode, the newest map launching on June 25, 2025. Corrode features medieval streets repurposed with industrial equipment and layered defenses perched high above vast salt flats. Key features of the map include:
-
2 Spike Sites
-
3 Lane Layout
-
Layered defenses and fall-back positions
-
Reduced overwhelming ability aggression in map design
A 5v5 map set in a French castle town transformed into a radianite salt mining facility, Corrode is set on the climate-ravaged world of Omega Earth. Corrode will be available in the competitive pool immediately upon launch. During the first two weeks, players lose 50% less RR for losses on Corrode, 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. Additionally, Swiftplay will have a dedicated Corrode queue from the map’s launch on June 25 through to June 30.
This act also brings players the Phaseguard Collection, a skinline that embodies cutting-edge technology and tactical precision. Weapons included in the collection are the Vandal, Outlaw, Ghost, Bulldog and new melee – 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.
Season 2025 // Act IV goes live on June 25 with the Phaseguard Collection available to players on June 26.
