The trailer highlighted Valorant Abyss's unique design, featuring a garden suspended above an endless pit. The new map brings a unique design that resembles Counter-Strike’s Vertigo map, but with a major twist: there are no protective walls around the outer edges. This means players need to be cautious as they can fall off and die, adding an extra layer of strategy and risk to the game.

Lead map designer Joey Simas commented on the map's design: “For Abyss, we wanted to push players to think differently about how utility and movement can be used in exciting new ways. We designed towards this goal by removing the boundaries of the map and letting player creativity shine through. Whether it’s Raze satchelling an enemy off of the map, Omen Shadow Stepping around structures or any Agent making use of the more high-risk paths around the sites.”
