Riot announces new Valorant beta bundle

Skins play a huge role in the overall gameplay loop of games like Valorant ^[1]. Players worldwide spend actual money to acquire their favorite skins, prompting Riot Games to want to release even more.

The newest bundle to be announced is the Valorant beta bundle. Those who have been around for a while may recognize these skins as part of Valorant’s beta, before the game was officially released. However, players will get a chance to acquire these skins for the first time in a while, and that too for a limited time only.

Here’s what to know about the new Valorant beta bundle, including what’s in it and when you can expect it.

What does the Valorant beta bundle have?

The Valorant beta bundle has exclusively nostalgic items celebrating the game’s early beta launch days. The bundle includes the Imperium knife, a beloved weapon skin that was available during the beta phase but was removed; it is now returning with some touch-ups. Alongside the knife are the beta remastered buddy, a beta remastered animated player card, and a beta remastered spray in the bundle.

The animated player card portrays the key-art style image of Viper, Phoenix, and Jett against Valorant’s signature red and black theme. The beta remastered buddy is described as reactive, changing color with a kill or potentially with each kill. The beta remastered spray adds another layer of nostalgia by playing lobby music from Valorant’s early days when used in-game.

Why is the Valorant beta bundle important for longtime players?

The Valorant beta bundle is for audiences who have been with the game since the beginning and provides a nostalgic experience. It celebrates the players who participated in the beta testing phase, a time when some skins were available but didn’t return to the game after the official launch. The bundle allows fans to finally obtain the imperium knife again, a desired item from that time.

Riot Games designed this bundle to resonate with players who have supported Valorant since its beta launch days, focusing on cosmetic items tied to that specific period. Although the bundle’s release date and price are unknown, and it seemingly doesn’t have any gun skins, its announcements grant the long-standing wish within the community to get a piece of Valorant’s beta history.
