Every map in the game is designed with some unique ideas. Therefore
, players can expect the same for the upcoming map Pearl. Some leaks suggest that the upcoming map will be an underwater-themed map.
Riot first teased the new map with the ‘Yellows on Rails’ player card in Episode 4 Act 3 Battle Pass. The image showcased the Yellow Elétrico Tram of Lisbon, Portugal, which was running through an underwater tunnel. This suggests that the new map might be in Lisbon, Portugal.
Later, the Episode 4 Act 3 Night Market also had a similar theme. Riot has always teased the new map with the Night Market. So everyone is assuming that the new map will be an ocean-themed map.
