Teaser 1 // Oct. 2021
The first teaser was delivered in a dev blog post about Fracture's development.
The standout email was this one from Rúben's niece, Aurora. It detailed a Lusophone country with a geo-dome used to avoid a harsh climate on Ω-Earth.

"What the heck is an Omega Earth?"
In a nutshell:
Ω-Earth is the Earth that the attacking-side VALORANT Protocol Agents hail from. VALORANT's primary conflict is the one between the α-VP and the Ω-VP. We refer to it as "The Mirrorverse Conflict"

Teaser 2 // Nov. 2021
In Killjoy's Lab, in the Arcane visual novel, a set of coordinates could be seen on a support beam.
38º 42' 5.4" N 9º 8' 24.19" W
This helped us narrow down the list of Lusophone countries to just Portugal. Landing us in the capital, Lisbon.

Teaser 4 // The Alpha-Omega Bridge
This isn't so much a single teaser, but rather the progression of the narrative telling us fairly explicitly, that the next map will be on Ω-Earth.
Chamber, undoubtedly with ulterior motives, provided blueprints for a teleporter --

Chamber, undoubtedly with ulterior motives, provided blueprints for a teleporter --
-- that would allow the α VALORANT Protocol to traverse to Ω-Earth for the first time.
Ω-Earth has had access to this technology for a good while longer. You can actually see their cross-Earth teleporters on Fracture!

Teaser 5 // Yellows on Rails
This card, found at the end of the current battlepass, depicts the Eléctrico 27 Tram carrying Rúben and Oran through an underwater tunnel.
There's a ton of lore to unpack here. Avoiding a tangent: These yellow tram cars are famously from Lisbon!

6 // Fade Crosses Over
In this voicemail from Fade, added in 4.09, we get a brief retelling of her scouting mission through the Alpha-Omega teleporter. She explains that she saw a "place of secrets" in the minds of Lisbon's people.

There is a ton more to say about the lore in and around this next map, but Twitter is not the ideal platform for it.
