During last night’s VALORANT Masters Grand Finals, Riot Games revealed Corrode, a new map launching on June 25, 2025. Set on the climate-ravaged world of Omega Earth, Corrode is a 5v5 map set in a French castle town transformed into a radianite salt mining facility, combining medieval streets with industrial equipment and layered defenses.
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
Corrode will be available in the competitive pool immediately upon launch. During the first two weeks, players will lose 50% less RR for losses on Corrode, while still gaining 100% RR for wins, helping players get used to the map in a competitive setting without the fear of deranking. Swiftplay will also feature a dedicated Corrode queue from June 25 to June 30.
This act also adds a new skinline, the Phaseguard Collection, based on the themes of cutting-edge technology and tactical precision. Weapons included in the collection are the Vandal, Outlaw, Ghost, and Bulldog, as well as 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.
Season 2025 // Act IV goes live on June 25 with the Phaseguard Collection available to players on June 26.
