One of the things that Riot Games promised at the start of Valorant's Season 2025 is that the competitive map pool will receive changes more often than in previous years.
Keeping their word, the developer has already announced when the next map pool rotation will arrive, just a week after the start of Season 2025 Act 1.
For the next rotation, both Abyss and Bind will leave the competitive map pool, while Icebox and Ascent will return. This shuffle will arrive with patch 10.04, which we expect to arrive at the end of February/beginning of March.
This will be the first time Abyss leaves the map pool since it was added after its launch in 2024. On the other hand, Ascent was just removed with patch 10.00, meaning the map will remain out for a short period this time.
