Valorant has launched its new Blackthorn Bundle which includes a complete cosmetic package.

The bundle offers players stylish customization options through its eye-catching designs and its animated features which create distinctive appearances on the Ascent and Bind maps.

Valorant Blackthorn Bundle Release Date & Contents

The bundle is expected to launch on March 18, 2026, which marks the beginning of Act 02 in Valorant Season 26. Riot Games has a tradition of launching new skin sets at the beginning of each act. Blackthorn includes skins for:

• Vandal: Smooth animations with shadowed metallic accents.

• Guardian: Clean lines and subtle glowing effects.

• Marshal: Stylish scope animations with visual highlights. & Classic: Likely the pistol shown in early previews.

• Melee Knife: Dual-wielding Kuranami-style animation with chain effects.

Blackthorn Bundle Pricing and Features

The complete Valorant Blackthorn Bundle is estimated at 8700 VP, which exceeds the standard premium set cost of 7100 VP. The skins provide no gameplay advantages, but they improve visual effects on maps Ascent and Bind during team fights and clutch situations. Leaked information indicates that upcoming weapons will showcase special features that include animated recoil and weapon glow that are similar to previous Prime 2.0 bundle special effects.

Compared to earlier bundles, Blackthorn balances collector appeal and competitive flair. Its darker theme and animations make it stylish, and the Blackthorn Marshal could easily feature in the Valorant Top 5 Best Marshal Skins, setting a new benchmark for Riot’s cosmetic design.
