Riot Games announced the new map of VALORANT Icebox on the official VALORANT Twitter page on October 6th along with changes in ACT II and a new Agent!
Icebox will meet with us on October 13 for unrated and October 27 for competitive. Icebox is the next location where you can showcase your aiming skill and abilities, an abandoned Kingdom research center located at the poles. You can attack by piercing heavy puddles of snow to place the spike. By using steel ropes, you can go to new and dangerous places and protect it as well.
There are two target areas in ICEBOX that emphasize frequent combat and Agents’ ability to adapt to the game with sniping.

Icebox will start hosting competition for players with the release of ACT III.
New Agent: Skye
VALORANT has announced the new agent to be released on October 27! For the upcoming agent, VALORANT has posted images on their official Twitter account.
VALORANT Icebox Hints You May Have Missed
- We see a high tower in the video published by VALORANT. While we are not quite sure if it can be reached during the game, if it is, it will be a sniper point.
- There seem to be three ropes, including the horizontal ones that we assume will move like ziplines. The split contains vertical ropes that Agents can slide up and down quickly. This will likely work similarly so that we can move across parts of the map instead of going through it. You will be able to land and position on the boxes using this rope. There is also a rope that goes to a similar point to Split’s Heaven area. The shadow of a crane is visible behind the rope in the video.
- Another interesting aspect of Icebox that makes it look more dynamic than previous maps is a box. In the first picture, they show him being held by a crane blocking access to another part of the map. In the second picture, the box was gone. A third picture shows the crane lifting the box; This means there may be certain triggers that activate the crane and change how parts of the map work.
