The wait is finally over, as Riot has now officially revealed the new upcoming Valorant map, and it will be called Sunset. The map is based in Los Angeles and will be released on August 29 with Episode 7 Act 2. You can have a look at its trailer below:

Sunset will be a two-site and three lanes map and is focussed on taking mid-control. Apart from this, it will feature several LA cultural staples including food trucks, art deco and mission style architecture, traffic, graffiti - features a few local LA artists, and neon sunset.

Sunset is "generally good for rifle ranges and opens up a bunch of opportunities for whichever team can take it. We expect to see both teams make mid control a central part of their strategy on Sunset," said Joe Lansford, Lead Map Designer.
