With the new agent Harbor coming out in Patch 5.08, it is customary for Valorant to introduce a new map next time around, and easter eggs are already flooding the game about it. This time around, Harbor wants to be the one leading the mission, and this will be his first official mission with the Valorant Protocol.
In a new audio file emerging from Brimstone’s corner office at the training range, Astra and Harbor are found discussing his artifact, which is supposedly written in the language of the Guardians. From the artifact itself, Astra deciphers the word key and about a nexus and ‘lost city built by the guardians’. However, the really interesting factor is that Harbor talks about a map of that location at the ‘Gulf of Khambat‘, wherein he states about his study of the City of Flowers during his time at Realm, the actual place already in ruins.

Adding the new player cards into the mix, showing a pink lotus over a tree, theories have already started flooding the internet about the new map in development being located in India. Although, at this moment it seems highly unlikely that Valorant might add both the new agent and the map from India, given that the last agent to the release, Fade, was from Turkey and the new map Pearl located in Portugal, it is interesting to find out where Valorant intends to take its lore.
With Valorant Leaks tweeting about a new image from in a folder named Prol_Jaipur, and the Hindi words ‘Dainik Jagaran‘ faintly scribbled previously, fans are going wild over the chances of the new map based in India. However, a lot of the ideas do not go beyond the development stage, so it remains to be seen if the developers indeed go ahead and develop a new map in India.

Gun skins in Valorant have always been one of the most successful commercial aspects from Riot, with several skin bundles becoming fan favorites over time. Calling it The New Era, Valorant recently brought back its hyper-successful Ion skin bundle, albeit with a few changes, on popular demand by fans.
The original Oni skin line featured a shorty, bucky, guardian, and phantom, so it remains to be found out which skins will be included this time. The one claw was also a special skin for the melee weapon. This time around, there is a pink Oni Vandal teased, and for the melee weapon skin, fans might very soon get a katana for the first time in the game, making the fans excited about the upcoming pack.
