Valorant fans, prepare for a trip down memory lane. Riot Games has officially revealed the upcoming “Beta Bundle,” and while it’s smaller than most bundles we’ve seen, it packs a strong punch of nostalgia. Set to launch later this week, the bundle pays homage to Valorant’s earliest days with some sleek cosmetics—though it’s missing a few things players might be hoping for.
What’s in the Beta Bundle?
At the heart of the bundle is a brand-new knife skin, inspired by the original Imperium blade seen during Valorant’s closed beta. This isn’t a full weapon bundle, though. There are no gun skins to speak of—no Phantom, no Vandal, just the knife and some cosmetic extras.
Still, this isn’t just any knife. It features the same flippy animation style that made the Zeno Hunter one of the most beloved Melee skins in the game. The animation alone is likely to catch the eyes of collectors and fans of flashy cosmetics.
Four Clean Color Variants
The Beta Knife comes in four visually appealing variants:
- Green
- Red
- Purple
- Blue
While the original Imperium skin line now has a completely different identity within Valorant, this new version pays direct tribute to those early days—hence the “Beta” label.
Cosmetics That Celebrate the OG Vibes
The bundle also includes:
- A reactive gun buddy
- An animated player card
- A new title
- A spray featuring the OG Valorant menu music
It’s a clear celebration of where Valorant began. That player card and spray are definitely going to strike a chord with longtime players who remember the closed beta grind.
But What’s the Price Tag?
This is where things get tricky. Riot hasn’t revealed the exact price yet, but given the premium animation on the knife and the reactive buddy, there’s concern it could lean toward the higher end. Since this isn’t a traditional gun skin bundle, some players may feel short-changed if the price isn’t set accordingly.
We’ll reserve final judgment until Riot officially drops the bundle later this week. But based on early looks, it’s a safe bet this Beta Knife will make waves among fans of Valorant’s history.
Stay tuned as we’ll be showcasing all the in-game variants the moment they go live.
