As we approach the end of the VCT 2025 Stage 2, it's now time to start looking at the scene's most important tournament: the Valorant Champions.
This year's edition of the Valorant Champions will be played in Paris, France, from September 12 to October 5. All of the 16 teams in the tournament have already been confirmed as each region will send their top four performing teams to fight for a chance to win the most important competition in Valorant's esports scene.
However, it's fair to say it's not all about competition in Valorant Champions, at least not for the game's community. There's something else that captivates the watchers, and that's the yearly Valorant Champions bundle. With the Valorant Champions 2025 being just around the corner, players are starting to wonder how the skins will look like.
Well, here's everything we know so far about the Valorant Champions 2025 collection:
When will the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle be released?
The Valorant Champions 2025 bundle will be released on September 4 and it will be in the store until October 9, according to leaks.
This information makes sense as the Valorant Champions 2025 is expected to start on September 12. This means that the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle would be released a week earlier. This also means that the bundle will be in Valorant's store for four weeks, giving players plenty of time to acquire the skins.
What weapon will feature in the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle?
The weapon included in the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle will be the Vandal. This makes sense as Valorant Champions bundles only feature the Phantom or the Vandal, with these rotating every year.
Since the celebration of the first edition of Valorant Champions, back in 2021, the tournament's collection has always featured either the Vandal or the Phantom. These keep rotating and have never overlapped each other. Considering the Valorant Champions 2024 bundle was for the Phantom, Riot Games' decision to make this year's a Vandal bundle makes a lot of sense.
Keep in mind that the Vandal and the Phantom are the two most popular weapons in Valorant. Therefore, it's understandable that they take the spotlight in the Valorant Champions Bundle. At the same time, a lot of Valorant players have been asking for years to release a Valorant Champions bundle for the Operator. Unfortunately for them, this won't be the year.
What items will the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle include?
The Valorant Champions 2025 bundle will include a Vandal skin, a butterfly knife, and a flex. This will be the first Valorant Champions bundle to include a flex skin.
The bundle's most popular cosmetics are the weapon and melee skins. These are usually extremely smooth and aesthetic, with the community normally going crazy for them. This is one of the most supported collections of the year by Valorant's community, so expect this one to be quite hyped.
On August 30, Riot Games released a one-minute video showing for the first time the Valorant Champions 2025 Vandal, as well as the Valorant Champions 2025 butterfly knife and flex. Here's each one of them:
Valorant Champions 2025 Vandal
The Valorant Champions 2025 Vandal is a beautiful weapon skin that mixes shades of gold and red. What makes this weapon skin special is the kill counter, which the player can see at any minute.
Moreover, as revealed by some leakers, when activating the weapon's inspect animation, players can see a countdown timer that counts down to the date of the Champions 2025 Grand Finals.
It's also worth mentioning that the Valorant Champions 2025 Vandal will be surrounded by a unique golden aura if the player has the most kills on the server. So, if you acquire this skin, make sure to get those sweet eliminations!
Valorant Champions 2025 Butterfly Knife
The Valorant Champions 2025 bundle will include a butterfly knife. Although the knife looks quite dark, it's surrounded by some kind of gold and red aura that makes it very special. It also has the VCT logo, which makes the player go full Valorant Champions mode!
Valorant Champions 2025 Flex
While the weapon skins included in the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle will already make the collection a very desirable one, what will truly make it unique will be the Flex.
The Valorant Champions 2025 bundle's Flex is the Valorant Champions trophy, so players will feel like champions at any point of the game. It's also important to mention that players will be able to listne to a tune while using the Valorant Champions 2025 Flex. How cool is that?
How much will the Valorant Champions 2025 bundle be?
The Valorant Champions 2025 Bundle will be 6,620 VP, according to leaks. This is the equivalent to USD$70.
It's important to mention that the Valorant Champions bundle is arguably one of the most popular and profitable collections of the year for Riot Games. Last year, according to Valorant's Global Head of Esports, Leo Faria, the Valorant Champions 2024 bundle alongside the VCT Team Capsules allowed Riot Games to share USD$44.3M with teams.
