Bind is one of the most popular maps in Valorant. The map’s setting and mechanics are based in such a way that players find it very easy to control. Both defenders and attackers looked forward to capturing the map. However, it was removed from playing seven mas after Lotus and Split were introduced in the previous patch updates.
When it was removed, the developers announced that it will make a comeback in the near future with some changes. Now, Valorant has announced the return of Bind, and players are elated about it.
