The map will also feature long ziplines which connect routes underneath it. Similar to other maps, eagle-eyed fans can expect to spot tie-ins to Valorant lore, including the game’s first-ever interactive, narrative objects.
Fracture expands on the mirrorverse narrative, which was unveiled in the Duality lore cinematic. The new Valorant map will expose fans to the Mirror Earth Kingdom, a clash between two worlds.
