Riot Games does not disappoint us when it comes to showing off new content in the game. During Valorant Champions 2023 which ended with EC's win, Riot Games posted a trailer for the new Sunset map coming to Valorant. In this trailer, we see Cypher and Deadlock talking about an underground intervention. This was confirmed when Valorant released a player card in the game where the location on the card looked like LA. After another tease of Gekko's wingman video, Riot Games finally released the gameplay trailer for the new Valorant map Sunset.

Sunset has the potential to become the most used map in Valorant by professional teams. Let us guide you with some important tips and crazy tricks that will make your experience on this coastal city based map better.
The map is simple and has no gimmicks like teleporters, ziplines or revolving doors. Sunset is similar to Valorant's map Ascent in terms of layout. The sites connect directly to spawns and mid. Additionally, there are two breakable doors in both locations, similar to the Ascent. The A spot is wide and shot-friendly, while the B spot is more congested and filled with many corners that you'd expect players to camp with a shorty.
The back of the B site has a boba shop that connects to Defender spawn and Mid Top. On the other side, the A site has an additional elbow site connecting the A main road with the A alley behind the A site. The map seems to be medium heavy. The sunset map size is small when rotating from location A to location B on the defending side.
