VALORANT Champions 2025 bundle: Release date, price, and more

Riot Games has revealed the VALORANT Champions 2025 bundle featuring exclusive weapon skins and accessories, all decorated and ready to be added to your inventory. We’ve got everything you need to know about the collection. 

Like every year, VALORANT hosts a new skin collection to celebrate VCT’s year-end tournament and support its participants. You can purchase these cosmetics via the in-game store’s featured section for a limited time. But unlike previous Champions bundles, this one won’t be cheap either. 

To help plan your purchase or decide whether it’s worth emptying your pockets for, here’s every detail about the VALORANT Champions 2025 bundle, including its release date, pricing, and more.

The 2025 VCT Champions skin collection goes live on Sept. 4 and its contents can be purchased via VALORANT’s Store till Oct. 9. So, you have over a month to decide before the skins and accessories leave the game forever. 

All skins in VALORANT Champions 2025 bundle

Like previous years, 2025’s Champions bundle contains two weapon skins, a gun, and a melee, as revealed in the official trailer. Riot is yet to confirm the accessories it will come with, but reliable leakers have given everything out already. Here are the contents, listed:

  • Champions 2025 Vandal
  • Champions 2025 Butterfly Knife
  • Gunbuddy, Spray, and Playercard
  • Champions Trophy Flex

The trailer also showcases the trophy flex; don’t mistake it as the gun’s inspection animation.

VALORANT Champions 2025 skins theme and upgrades

Riot is yet to offer a complete official demo of the skins, but we already know the theme from the trailer. Both the Vandal and Butterfly Knife feature a black metallic body base, which is embellished with intricate details in gold and red. With these skins equipped to your loadout, you’ll always want to “Go for Gold.”

With details similar to the EX.O theme, the VALORANT Champions 2025 Vandal features a mixture of polished and textured details on its body. The transparent trigger area flaunts multiple embedded slot cards featuring the VCT logo and a kill counter similar to the RGX 11z Pro collection. The counter changes into the “V25” text when you inspect the gun. Interestingly, till the end of the Champions tournament, the counter upon inspection will display the number of days till the grand final instead, like an Easter egg. The muzzle flashes in red with a display of the VCT logo every time you fire. You’ll also see a gold aura flow from the back to the front of the gun every time you secure a kill.

The finisher animation is a glorious one too, with the last enemy killed blasting into a gold tree-like network and a big text banner showcasing the number of rounds you need to win the game. If you fire a bullet at a wall after the finisher blooms, it leaves gold shards on the wall. You can stack multiple of these shards to turn the entire wall gold for some time. Your teammates can also paint the wall gold, and they don’t need to own the skin for it.

Both the Vandal and melee supports a special Champion’s Aura animation. The skins flaunt a flowing red accent along the top border when you’re the top fragger. As you keep nabbing kills, this color changes from red into a premium gold to indicate a streak.

The official anthem of VALORANT Champions 2025 is yet to be released, but the trailer gives an audio teaser to it already. Like every other Champions weapon skin, the anthem inspires the 2025 Vandal finisher’s SFX too.

VALORANT Champions 2025 bundle and skins price

The VALORANT Champions 2025 bundle is priced at 6,620 VP. It’s a few hundred VPs higher than past collections, mostly due to the Flex included and of course, the extra detailing.

You can get individual items from the bundle as well. The Vandal skin is expected to be priced at 2,675 VP, and the melee at 5,350 VP. As you can see, if you’re getting the melee anyway, purchasing the bundle might be the best way to go.
