Riot Games is set to celebrate the Chinese Year with the introduction of the Helix Skin Bundle in VALORANT.
VALORANT, Riot Game’s first foray into the tactical shooter space, is known to surprise its player base with unique cosmetic items such as weapon skins to keep the player base engaged. As part of the new Chinese New Year celebration, Riot chose to include an epic skin line themed around snakes to celebrate the Year of the Snake.
