Valorant Episode 8 is set to bring a major shakeup to the game’s map pool lineup in 2024. Leaks reveal a competitive map pool change and the return of a long-awaited map.
The release date for Valorant Episode 8 is set for January 8th or 9th, 2024. Riot Games is expected to introduce various changes to maps, agents, and weapons, along with new content such as sprays, player cards, and cosmetics.
According to leaks, Icebox will rejoin the fray when Episode 8 goes live. However, its addition comes at the cost of a longtime staple map: Haven.
Icebox was pulled from competition last April to undergo extensive reworking. With months of adjustments, Icebox seems poised for a refreshed comeback, although the exact changes remain unclear.
Haven, one of Valorant’s original launch maps and a competitive staple, is likely to exit the pool. This marks the end of an era, leaving only Ascent from Valorant’s Day One map lineup.
The leaks remain unconfirmed for now, but with the Episode 8 launch just over a month away, official news likely isn’t far off. The update promises to change the terrain of competitive Valorant in 2024.
