In a much-anticipated announcement, head of VALORANT Esports Leo Faria has finally given fans what they’ve been eagerly awaiting: a launch date for VCT team skins.
According to Faria’s extensive Twitter thread, which provided insights into the 2024 VCT season and glimpses into 2025, these much-coveted skin bundles will arrive in February 2024, coinciding with each league’s kickoff tournament leading to Masters Madrid.
In a nod to the teams’ distinctive styles, the Evil Geniuses (EG) skins are rumored to feature a touch of gold, adding a luxurious flair to the game. This detail, revealed alongside a photo by Liu YiCun via Riot Games, captures the heightened excitement and anticipation for these team-specific cosmetics.
Faria outlined the schedule for the kickoff tournaments:
- starting on February 16th for Americas
- February 17th for Pacific
- February 20th for EMEA,
- February 22nd for VCT China’s inaugural season
These dates set the stage for the launch of the VCT team skin bundles, which will be available throughout the entire season.
In an inclusive move, every team in the international leagues, including the recently introduced Ascension teams, will receive their own bundle.
These bundles will feature a unique gun skin and an array of other in-game items, or “goodies,” as Faria puts it. The excitement within the VALORANT Esports team for these in-game team skins is palpable, with Faria describing the sentiment as “bullish.”
The initiative to release VCT team skins is driven by the ambition to emulate the successful revenue generation of previous VCT-themed bundles.
Over the past two years, these bundles have generated over $33 million in digital item revenue, directly benefiting the participating teams. Faria highlighted that nearly $12 million of this revenue has been allocated to players and coaches. The income from these skins, coupled with Riot’s base stipend and additional incentives, is set to empower organizations to further invest in VALORANT and its growing esports ecosystem.
The expectation is for stylish, unique skins that truly embody the essence of each team, adding a personalized touch to the gaming experience.
As February 2024 approaches, the excitement among the VALORANT community is at an all-time high. These team skins are not just digital cosmetics; they represent a deeper connection between fans and their favorite teams, allowing players to showcase their allegiances in style.
