Hello!

A combo of the VALORANT Map and Lore team are here to answer your questions on Pearl for an hour. We also like to always share this basic refresher on what map development is like. Also, we imagine you might have Split questions, so please read our write up on the topic, which should help focus your questions.

Today let’s cover Pearl gameplay, lore, and art. We’ll try to answer your questions about other maps but we’re generally trying to keep some early work to ourselves and some surprises.

We’ll answer your questions from now until about 12pm Pacific Time, and update this post when we head out.

Your buddies:

/u/ManWolfAxeBoss - Joe "Pearl Hogbash" Lansford, Level Designer

/u/Joeganaut - Joey Simas, Level Designer

/u/Riot_ParmCheesy - Joe Killeen, Narrative Writer

/u/Riot_Echo - Sabrina Echouafni, Environment Artist

Some of the team is also lurking!

EDIT: All wrapped up for today. Thanks for coming everyone!
