In an exciting development for fans of the popular tactical shooter, Valorant Mobile is set to introduce two original maps, Dust Cargo Yard and Ancient Village. These maps are exclusive to the mobile version and will not be available on the PC or any other platforms, making their debut a noteworthy event for mobile gamers.
Earlier today, Riot Games announced that Valorant Mobile will officially launch in China, facilitated by a collaboration with Lightspeed Studios. Players interested in experiencing the game can now pre-register for upcoming playtests.
New Maps Coming to Valorant Mobile
According to recent sources, including a post from @subzidite2 on X, the two forthcoming maps are called Dust Cargo Yard and Ancient Village. Initial glimpses of these locations suggest that Dust Cargo Yard bears design elements reminiscent of Bind, while Ancient Village evokes the aesthetic of Lotus and Drift.
While no official announcement has been made regarding these new additions, it is anticipated that any formal reveal will likely utilize regional channels, given that Valorant Mobile is currently exclusive to China. Additionally, a recently leaked trailer from @AnakinJuegos featured gameplay and user interface elements set against several existing maps.
A video has also surfaced where Riot Games elaborates on the development of Valorant Mobile, discusses its partnership with Lightspeed Studios, and shares details on how players can pre-register.

If the claims about the mobile port featuring unique maps prove accurate, it would be a strategic enhancement by the developers. This approach ensures that Valorant Mobile offers distinctive content separate from its PC counterpart, enriching the player experience.
As gamers globally await their opportunity to engage with the mobile version, it is promising to see Riot Games poised to unveil the mobile iteration. However, its overall success will only become clear upon its release.
