Fans of online shooter Valorant can look forward to a slew of new skins this week. This will be part of Act 5 of the current 2026 season.
Act 5 of Valorant’s 2026 season begins tomorrow (August 18), and fans of the online shooter from Riot Games will discover a slew of new costumes. To this end, the launch of the new Aeris range is now official.
This is a new skin collection designed to combine timeless fantasy elements with modern aesthetics. Aeris is themed around magical cards and is designed to give you a sense of channeling power through magical artifacts and mastering a new form of mystical art.
The new series initially includes the Destroyer, Bandit, Guardian, Marshal, and the Color of Iris melee weapon, which morphs for different attacks and transforms melee combat into magical cards with personal animations.
The creators also pledged to the series:
-
Reload, equip and check animations inspired by card magic
-
A finisher, floating magical cards circle around opponents before hitting them to defeat them; the effect ends with explosions, energy pillars, and ethereal ambient music
-
Separate kill banners and audio effects, supported by color variants
-
New Flex with magical cards that display interactive shuffling and drawing animations; 10% chance to trigger an Easter egg that replaces the standard deck with cards from the Riftbound: League of Legends trading card game and reveals one of six possible Riftbound variants
With the start of the new episode, a new battle pass will also be launched, which includes “Classic – Green Cafe”, graffiti “Sharp, Sharp, Sharp”, “Green Cafe” chef’s knife, “Nugget” amulet and other decorative content.
