The Imperium skin collection will be introduced along with Episode 7 Act 2 on August 29, 2023 ( August 30 for Asia-Pacific and other eastern regions) in Valorant. The upcoming Imperium Skin bundle will replace the Daydream collection.

Episode 7 Act 1 is currently underway and will witness its conclusion on August 28, 2023. After that, the Competitive mode will be unavailable for a couple of hours, followed by a maintenance break.

The Imperium skin bundle shares similarities with a few old skins. A shade of emerald green with a hint of gold kind of reminds us of the skin from the Serenity bundle, whereas the skin's Pearl (white) variant is reminiscent of the iconic Sovereign skinline.

Additionally, skins in the Imperium collection have the largest finishers Riot has ever created, with a humongous dragon appearing above the final enemy's body. The best part of the bundle is that it offers a total of 4 amazing variants: Emerald (Default Variant), Ruby, Pearl, and Obsidian.

Considering past iterations, the bundle might be available in the store for three to four weeks before it's taken out of rotation. However, if players want to buy each of the weapon skins (Vandal, Sheriff, Operator & Judge) individually, they can do so for 2175 VP when it appears in their daily store rotation. Similarly, the “Blade of Imperium” melee skin can be purchased for 4350 VP from the daily store rotation after the bundle expires from the market's Featured section.
