A Hidden History of Lotus

These ruins known only by their codename, Lotus were hidden away for centuries in the heavily forested Western Ghats mountain range of southern India.

Harbor, an explorer, adventurer, and the newest member of VALORANT Protocol, had been searching for the ruins for years after hearing rumours of the ancient technology that lay within their walls.

Lead-level designer, Joe “Pearl Hogbash” Lansford stated…

„Lotus a fost construit de o civilizație care pare să fi fost conștientă de o prezență puternică în oglindă. Și vei vedea dovezi în acest sens în diferitele altare și vei modela limbajul de-a lungul hărții.”

But it wasn’t until he found the artefacts which granted him his water-bending powers that Harbor would be able to locate and unlock the Lotus ruins with some help from his teammate Astra.

Something special happened here. Something powerful. Floare power. And the evidence of this plant technology is clearly recognizable as soon as you enter the map.

Lead Concept Artist, Brian “Peppy Yambino” Yam spoke about the science behind the map.

“Root circuitry, we like to call it. The idea was that these plants were mutated by radianite to absorb large amounts of energy from the sun due to their size. As you explore the map, you’ll see these giant lotus leaves encased in blue panels that act as power storage for various features on the map. The ancients who built this place found a way to encase these lotus leaves to extract the energy they’d absorbed.”

Lotus Layout and Mechanical Features in Valorant

Lotus is a three-site map with corridors that weave each of the plant sites together.

Conveniently located hallways and passages make rotating from site to site quick and easy.

Pearl Hogbash says…

„Un mare obiectiv de design aici a fost fluiditatea mișcării”, spune Pearl Hogbash. „Am vrut să permitem echipelor să se flexeze și să pivoteze pe măsură ce runda progresează mai ușor decât fac adesea pe alte hărți.”

The main feature that makes Lotus unique is its two, giant mechanical doors that rotate 180 degrees.

These solid pieces of stone take 8 seconds to fully rotate, and during their rotation, they open otherwise blocked hallways for a limited time.

All of these features allow for strategic, satisfying gameplay with the ability to rotate quickly as an attacking team or retake sites as a defending one.

Also, the design team spent a lot of time proving these concepts out in the grey box mesh.

Valorant Lotus Inspiration

Omega Earth might not be real (as far as we know), but it’s still based on a real place.

Yup, you guessed it, Earth.

So of course, the team took inspiration from some real places and real peoples of our planet.

Peppy Yambino commented with…

“We took inspiration from the Petra ruins in Jordan. Petra has very interesting rock-cut architecture. And then somebody mentioned that we had an Indian agent in development. After doing some research, we found that India has similar kinds of ancient architecture. And we thought that lined up perfectly. So then we started looking towards India.”
