Mike aka Valorleaks, reported on Twitter that partnered franchise-themed skin will soon come in Valorant. When Riot Games first unveiled the league last year, there was talk of team skins. Since then, Riot has not provided an official confirmation, although leaks indicate they will be included. Players can expect these skins to drop in the next couple of months.

According to ValorLeaks, there will be a single bundle with all teams-theme as variants instead of having individual team bundles. This would mean that players can buy a single weapon skin and then have the option to buy variants for the teams they choose to play as and want to support. All Valorant skins usually have a maximum of 4 varients but if its indeed true then this skin bundle will have a whopping 30 variants. Thus making this skin bundle to have most number of variants in the game. Mike hasn’t reported anything about the player cards and gun buddies for the upcoming bundle as of now.

To this news, VCT partnered team, Sentinels has reacted and replied with their impeccable sense of humor, as usual.

Valorant has already introduced esports-themed skin bundles for VCT Champions 2021 and 2022. These are exclusive skin lines and are only available in-store for a limited time. 50% of the total collection from these skins goes to the participant team. So, players can expect the same thing with the new franchise-themed skin bundle. However, Riot Games has yet to confirm all these news.
