VALORANT is getting another stylish weapon collection, and this one looks like it was pulled straight out of a dark fantasy garden. The new Blackthorn skin bundle leans hard into a black, silver, and crimson aesthetic, mixing elegant rose imagery with sharp thorn-covered weapon frames. Based on the first leaked look, this set feels built for players who love sinister designs with a premium finish.
Riot has not published a full official breakdown for the bundle yet, but the Blackthorn Collection has now been shown alongside Season 2026 Act 2 content. That gives us a pretty good idea of when it will arrive and what players can expect once it hits the store.
VALORANT Blackthorn Bundle
From the leaked promo image, Blackthorn looks like one of the more dramatic skin lines VALORANT has teased in a while. The whole collection is built around a dark floral theme. The weapons feature sleek black bodies, silver blade-like edges, and glowing red accents that make them look almost alive. A large crimson rose sits at the center of the artwork, while thorny vines curl around the bottom of the image to sell the theme even more.
BLACKTHORN Bundle Features:
- Vandal
- Classic
- Guardian
- Marshal
- Melee
The guns themselves look sharp and aggressive rather than clean or futuristic. The metal lines resemble petals and thorns wrapped around the weapon frames, giving the bundle a gothic look without going too far into horror. The red energy details around the weapons make the set feel dangerous and expensive, even from a single preview image. If you liked skin lines such as Reaver for their darker mood but want something more elegant and floral, Blackthorn looks like it could land in that sweet spot.
Color Variants:
- Gold with black accent
- Red with black accent
- White with black accent.
- Purple with white accent.
Blackthorn bundle release date in VALORANT
The Blackthorn Collection is expected to launch with Season 2026 Act 2 content. Multiple reports tied to Riot’s latest reveal say the new season begins on March 18, 2026, and Blackthorn is one of the featured cosmetic additions arriving with that update window.
That likely means players should expect the bundle to appear in or around the in-game shop starting March 18, depending on regional rollout and store refresh timing. Until Riot posts the full store announcement, that is still the safest estimate rather than a locked official shop timestamp.
Blackthorn bundle price in VALORANT
Riot has not officially confirmed the Blackthorn bundle price yet. Still, the skin line strongly looks like a Premium Edition collection, and Premium bundles in VALORANT commonly land at 7,100 VP, with individual weapon skins usually priced at 1,775 VP and melee skins often costing 3,550 VP.
So, unless Riot treats Blackthorn as a higher-tier release, 7,100 VP is the most reasonable expectation right now. That is not final, but it is the likely price point based on how Riot has priced similar premium bundles in the past.
The Blackthorn skin bundle looks like it could be one of VALORANT’s best dark-themed collections in recent memory. Even from this early preview, the rose and thorn design gives the set a stylish, dangerous feel that instantly pops. It is elegant, edgy, and dramatic in a way that should appeal to a lot of players.
