Valorant to Get a New Night Market-Style Event Store, Leaks Reveal

Players of Riot Games' tactical shooter Valorant could soon receive a brand-new limited-time event shop comparable to the popular Night Market, according to information recently uncovered by data miners. The feature, which carries the internal designation "Soup," was brought to light through social media posts by prominent dataminer “valohabercisi.” Unlike the standard shop rotation, which refreshes daily, the leaked store is designed to open specifically when developers choose to activate it.

According to the findings shared from recent game updates, Riot Games has integrated various background assets, a dedicated main menu tab, an icon, and a unique offer structure known as “SoupOfferDTO” that supports both individual cosmetics and full bundles. The leaked system also includes tracking features to monitor whether players have viewed all available offers, a mechanic familiar to users of the existing Night Market.

What distinguishes the leaked "Soup" store from prior additions is a unique ingredient system referenced in the game's code. Leaked references highlight four specific ingredient classifications: BEEF_STEW, CHICKEN_NOODLE, CHILI, and GUMBO. According to community speculation and leaker notes, players may interact with these ingredients to generate or unlock offers, aligning with culinary motifs already present in the current Act's battle pass. However, exact details on how the ingredient system functions remain unconfirmed.

While the foundational files have been pieced together across recent patches, the development team has not yet issued an official announcement regarding the feature. The Valorant community continues to await formal word from the developers on whether the limited-time shop will officially launch in a future update.
