Valorant Act 4 brings new map Summit and 3v3 mode Retake on June 24

Riot Games revealed Act 4 of Valorant Season 2026 during the Masters London esports event on June 21, with the update going live on June 24. The two headline additions are Summit, a brand-new map, and Retake, a 3v3 limited-time game mode.

Summit is set in the Chinese training academy and monastery where Sage studied, and her cinematic reveal trailer leads the announcement. It's a three-lane map with two spike sites, but the standout design feature is three droppable walls that players can activate mid-match to shift pathways and sightlines on the fly. To ease players into it, Riot is running a Summit-only queue for the first week, and the rank rating penalty for losing on Summit is cut by 50% for the first two weeks of Act 4. Retake strips out the usual Valorant loop entirely — no spike planting, no weapon buying between rounds. Instead, both teams of three get randomized loadouts each round and fight over a spike that's already been planted. The faster pace and randomized gear make it feel closer to a casual shooter than the tightly structured competitive mode that defines most Valorant sessions. The Blackspyre Collection skinline and a new battlepass also launch alongside Act 4. Valorant is available on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
