Farewell to Split
Valorantis getting a new map with the release of Episode 5 Act 1 on June 22nd.
It’s called Pearl and it’s set in an underwater town in Portugal.
I liked it because it felt like the map most reminiscent of the Counter-Strike levels I was used to.
“Learning a new map can be one of the toughest parts of a tac shooter.
Going from ‘learned’ to ‘mastered’ is even harder.
“Not to mention all the combinations of agents and utility.
“We looked at a bunch of different factors when making this decision.
When we plugged all those numbers into the magic algorithm machine, we landed on Split.”
While I’m sorry to see Split go, Pearl does look neat in the trailer above.
Instead, scifi “radianite-infused polycarbonate” walls hold the water at the outskirts, leaving the town intact.
