Valorant Reveals New Aeris Skin Bundle, Release Date, and Contents

Riot Games has officially revealed a brand-new cosmetic collection coming to Valorant with its upcoming update. The new Aeris skin line will be introduced alongside the Season 2026 Act 5 update, which is scheduled to go live on August 18, 2026, though release timing may vary depending on the player's region. The upcoming patch will also include a new Battle Pass and changes to the competitive map rotation, while no new maps or Agents are planned for this update.

As confirmed by official channels, the Aeris bundle features a variety of weapon skins including the Aeris Vandal, Aeris Guardian, Aeris Marshal, Aeris Bandit, and an Aeris Melee. Promotional trailers indicate that the melee weapon transforms when attacking. Additionally, the collection features three unlockable color variants in Red, Blue, and Pink, which players can obtain using Radianite Points.

While Riot Games has not yet announced official pricing details, leaks originating from Chinese sources suggest that the collection will be an Ultra-tier bundle. If these reports prove accurate, players can expect the full bundle to cost approximately 9,900 VP. Individual weapon skins are projected to cost around 2,475 VP each, with the melee weapon expected to carry a price tag of roughly 4,950 VP. Players should treat these price points as unconfirmed rumors until an official announcement is made by Riot Games.
