Riot Games will add<\/a> Summit to Valorant’s competitive map pool on June 24. The map is set high in Chinese mountains at a former monastery where the agent Sage trained. Summit includes a dedicated Summit Only queue at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summit’s core mechanic uses shootable switches to close doors for the remainder of a round. Designers say once a door closes it cannot be reopened or restored during that round, which removes sightlines and changes retake paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game designer Diego Varona framed the concept by asking, “What if a map could change permanently during a round?” He explained the team made the changes irreversible for each round. Varona added that walls and doors are not destructible and cannot be raised back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
