The VALORANT skinline collection is about to get a spine-chilling upgrade with the release of the highly anticipated Nocturnum Bundle. Set to debut in Episode 9 Act 2, this bundle offers a mystical experience that blends terror and beauty in equal measure. With skins for five different weapons, the Nocturnum collection isn’t just a visual treat — it’s a full-blown dark fantasy that evolves with every shot. Inspired by ancient, forbidden rituals, this skinline promises to bring eerie, transformative magic to the battlefield, making it a must-have for players looking to add a touch of horror to their arsenal. In this article, we’ll delve into everything you need to know about the VALORANT Nocturnum Bundle, including its release date, the stunning skins included, and the price you’ll need to pay to wield this ancient power.
What is the Valorant Nocturnum Skin?
The Valorant Nocturnum skin is a dark fantasy-inspired collection rooted in mystical rituals and shadowy transformations. Riot Games’ Product Manager Laura Baltzer described the vision behind the skinline as a blend of beauty and terror, a duality that is masterfully captured in its design and features.
The centerpiece of the Nocturnum bundle is the scythe melee weapon, which has the unique ability to transform into a dagger. Each form comes with its own set of custom animations, effects, and a sinister aesthetic that makes it a standout addition to any player’s arsenal.
But the Nocturnum skin isn’t just about appearances. It offers custom animations, eerie sound effects, and a ceremonial transformation sequence that elevate the weapon’s chilling presence. To top it all off, when you secure the final kill with the Nocturnum melee, it triggers a ritual that summons Noctis, a dark entity that cloaks the battlefield in shadows, adding an unforgettable and ominous flair to your victory.
VALORANT Nocturnum Bundle: Price and Release Date
The Nocturnum Bundle is priced at a total of 8,700 VALORANT Points (VP), which is approximately $90 USD. For players who prefer flexibility, Riot Games offers the option to purchase individual skins separately. In the Nocturnum collection, each weapon skin can be bought individually for 1,775 VP, while the melee skin is expected to be priced around 3,550 VP.
Mark your calendars: the Nocturnum Bundle will be released in VALORANT on August 29, 2024, alongside the launch of the newest Sentinel agent, Vyse. To ensure a seamless experience and immediate access to the bundle, make sure your game is updated to the latest version prior to the release date. Embrace the dark, mystical allure of the Nocturnum skins and enhance your gameplay with their eerie and captivating designs.
