According to recent leaks, the widely anticipated Ignite melee will not be limited to Chinese players as initially expected.

In late 2022, a piece of great news for the Chinese player base surfaced about VALORANT officially being released in China. The government of China reportedly approved the launch of VALORANT, which would be open to passionate FPS enthusiasts in the Chinese market on July 12, 2023.

Riot Games always makes any new release with exciting new skins and cosmetic items. Similarly, Riot Games has plans to release new skins to celebrate VALORANT’s release in China. According to the leaks, a new Capsule including two incredible looking-melees will be waiting with the 7.01 patch.

However, as initially expected, the two new melees from the brand-new Capsule won’t be available to the Chinese player base only.
