With addition Ascent и Ice box in later updates, the total number of cards is now five. However, Riot Games is still not satisfied with this number. In an effort to "accelerate the release of the next few maps", the developers believe that "seven arenas is a good starting point."

While early details remain sparse, one thing that multiple sources have documented is the name of the next card. Valorant's sixth map will reportedly be named Foxtrot.
This information became public on March 31, although ValorLeaks assured that it was not part of any early April Fools' pranks.
Foxtrot may just be a code name: after all, it's the sixth letter in the NATO phonetic alphabet. However, if it is released with that name, it may have a military theme.

In addition to the early name reveal, the leaks also gave us the opportunity to listen to Valorant's new sound for the first time. Each map has its own unique theme when loaded, and it looks like Foxtrot will be no exception.
The leaked loading screen music has been styled in a unique tropical style with undeniable Valorant tones overlaid throughout.
This may indicate a more exotic location for the next map. Loading on the beach with this music in the background will do just fine.

The last piece of leaked information became part of Riot's April Fool's joke this year. Agents of Romance is a playful dating sim with quirky Valorant characters.
As part of this joke, some of the background art seemed to tease the next location in Valorant. While we see some familiar areas, one shot of Cypher seems to reveal a new tropical region.
Palm trees are seen in the distance as Cypher crosses the beach for his own romantic reasons. This might be a unique piece of art for just an April Fool's joke, but it could definitely be our first look at what's coming in Foxtrot.
Release date for the next Valorant map
Apart from this leaked information, the developers have not yet shared any official data. That being said, we can still predict when the sixth card will appear.
With the next two additions, there's a good chance that Foxtrot will arrive fairly soon. icebox was is running five months ago, on October 13, as part of the third act of the first episode. If history repeats itself, the Foxtrot could be launched as part of Episode 2 of Act 3.
next act kicks off April 21st, meaning Foxtrot could be right around the corner. Of course, we will have to wait for official confirmation from Riot. After all, Foxtrot might still be months away.
However, as information is already starting to seep through the cracks, it's safe to assume that we'll see the next card very soon.
