New Valorant skin bundle Forsaken coming for Operator, Vandal

Valorant’s Episode 2, Act 3 introduces the premium Forsaken skin collection, marking a significant departure from recent minimalist cosmetic offerings.

Premium weapon cosmetics in Valorant represent substantial financial investments, with limited availability windows creating urgency among dedicated players. Strategic purchasing requires monitoring release schedules and preparing funds in advance. The Forsaken set becomes accessible immediately upon the Act 3 deployment.

Following several minimalist skin releases, Riot Games has allocated extensive development resources to the Forsaken collection’s elaborate design. The visual aesthetic shares similarities with the highly popular Reaver bundle, suggesting strong community reception potential extending well beyond the current act’s duration.

When will the Forsaken skin bundle release?

The Forsaken collection launches simultaneously with the Episode 2, Act 3 update on April 27. Pricing follows the standard premium edition structure at 7,100 Valorant Points, equivalent to approximately $82 USD.

Deep emerald coloring dominates the Forsaken aesthetic, complemented by intricate ruin and forest motifs. While drawing clear inspiration from both Sovereign and Reaver lineages, the collection introduces substantially darker thematic elements. Luminous green energy patterns cascade across darkened surfaces while antique silver accents provide regal contrast against the weathered weapon textures.

Art Director Sean Marino confirmed Sovereign served as the primary creative foundation during Forsaken’s development cycle.

“We conceptualized Forsaken as Sovereign’s shadow counterpart—maintaining elegant craftsmanship while introducing brooding, tragic undertones,” Marino explained during the design presentation.

This menacing yet sophisticated skin series covers all essential Valorant firearms. The Forsaken arsenal includes:

• Vandal 
• Operator 
• Spectre
• Classic 
• Forsaken Ritual Blade (melee)

Additional content comprises player cards, weapon charms, and custom sprays. Like other premium-tier skins, Forsaken incorporates specialized visual effects, unique audio profiles, variant options, kill banners, and elimination animations.

Weapon customization extends through five progressive enhancement tiers:

• Level 1: Custom weapon model with specialized aim-down-sights reticle and distinctive cartridge ejection effects
• Level 2: Unique muzzle flash visual effects and firing audio signatures; ambient gem illumination
• Level 3: Specialized draw visual/audio effects (fissure animations); custom reload sequences (crackling energy); inspection audio cues; gem activation upon eliminations
• Level 4: Elimination banners and finishing moves
• Level 5: Gold model chroma with blue visual effects (variant 1); Sovereign-themed finisher and kill banner designs

For optimal acquisition timing, monitor the in-game store refresh cycles and prepare your Valorant Points allocation in advance. Premium skins typically rotate out of availability within 2-3 months, creating narrow purchase windows. Consider completing your weapons collection with strategic purchases.

Budget-conscious players should evaluate whether the extensive customization options justify the premium pricing. Compared to previous collections, Forsaken offers substantially more upgrade tiers than earlier premium offerings. Understanding game mechanics helps maximize your investment value through proper upgrade utilization.
