Valorant adds Summit map, 3v3 Retake mode and Blackspyre skins

Riot Games detailed three additions for Valorant during the Masters London Grand Finals at the Copper Box Arena: the Summit map, a permanent 3v3 Retake mode, and the Blackspyre skin collection. All launch on June 24 with Season 2026 Act 4.

Summit is the game’s 13th map and is set in a Radiant training academy in the mountains of China, the former study site of Sage. It follows a two-site, three-lane layout and adds three droppable walls-one each on A, B and Mid-activated by shooting a node. Once lowered, a wall stays down for the rest of the round, changing sightlines and limiting rotation paths. Summit enters the Competitive queue at launch. For the first two weeks, players lose 50% less Ranked Rating (RR) for losses on Summit while gaining the normal amount for wins. A Summit Only queue using the Swiftplay format will run for seven days.

Retake arrives as a 3v3 playlist built around post-plant scenarios. Each round starts with the Spike active on a single site. One team holds the site on defense while the other clears and defuses. Sides switch every round, and the first team to five round wins takes the match. At the start of each round, players pick two cards: one determines a randomized set of weapons and armor, and the other grants ability charges. Loadout options escalate as the match progresses. The mode uses curated single-site setups on existing maps.

Act 4 also brings the Blackspyre collection, featuring designs across the Phantom, Sheriff, Spectre and Ares, plus a new melee called Divide. The Battle Pass is priced at 1,000 VP and includes items such as the Sky Reaper Ghost skin, the Heal Up Squad player card and the Blep spray.

The announcements aired during the Masters London Grand Finals at the Copper Box Arena, where Paper Rex met Leviatán for the title. Leviatán, a South American organization with Chilean, Brazilian and Argentine representatives, went on to win the event after advancing from the Play-Ins.

Earlier, we reported that Riot removed Breeze from Valorant’s competitive matchmaking due to bugs.
