Valorant leaks highlight possible release date for Valorant x Gundam collection

Riot Games structures the skin collection release cycle in a way to provides players with a constant stream of cosmetic content, ensuring that the in-game experience remains fresh and engaging.

Valorant operates in episodes and acts, and skin collections are often tied to these act updates. Occasionally, Riot Games releases Ultra Edition skins, which are high-quality, detailed, and come with unique animations and sound effects. These skins are typically introduced mid-episode and are available for purchase for a limited time. They are considered premium cosmetic content.

  • Act 1: Jun 27 - Aug 29
  • Act 2: Aug 29 - Oct 31
  • Act 3: Oct 31 - Jan 9

Images related to the Valorant x Gundam leak are surfacing online and have the date mentioned as October 19. Therefore, considering Riot Games' skin release structure, we can expect Gundam-inspired skins sooner than ever in Valorant.

However, it is important to mention that previously, Valorant leaks have teased a few too many possible gun skins in development that didn't end up arriving.
