Riot Games always delivers when it comes to releasing new and innovative in-game cosmetics and bundles across its game titles that capture the attention of the players. Valorant is no stranger to these stellar cosmetics and skins for the many different guns in the game.
Players are regularly treated to new collections of skins in Valorant and sometimes there are way too many options to choose from. Recently, the community has been abuzz about yet another Valorant cosmetic bundle that is supposedly going to release soon.
Multiple dataminers and reliable leakers have shared images of a collection called "Kuronami" on Twitter.
So far, only a gun and a melee from this rumored Valorant Kuronami skin line have been shared on social media channels. Here's all we know about this Kuronami skin collection in Valorant.
While several leaks have only shared images of the Vandal and the melee weapon from the rumored and upcoming Kuronami skin collection, players can hope to see three more weapon skins in the collection. This is because every Valorant skin bundle so far has usually carried four weapon skins and a melee.
The community has been eagerly discussing about the Kuronami melee in particular. Called the 'Kuronami no Yaiba', which translates to 'Blade wave Blade' from Japanese, features a kusarigama-style weapon. It seems to be a dual-wielded chained melee, making it one of the first of its kind in Valorant, if it does get released.
Many players, upon glancing at the speculated Kuronami Vandal, were quick to draw comparisons to the old and reliable Reaver collection in the game. It is possible that this is due to the fact that both the skin collections have a tone of purple in them. Apart from that, there are no other resemblances or design similarities between the Kuronami and the Reaver collection.
It is also possible that there could be more color variations when this skin bundle goes live in the game.
From the way the Vandal and the melee looks in the Kuronami collection. it could very well be a Premium Edition collection. If this comes true, players can expect the collection to cost 8700 VP for the whole bundle including the melee chain blade.
In case you wish to buy the weapons separately, you can expect to spend 1775 VP for each weapon and a total of 3550 VP for the melee alone.
At the time of writing this article, the release date of this Valorant Kuronami collection is unknown. Players should also take all this information with a pinch of salt because Riot Games has not officially confirmed it.
