Introducing the Aeris Collection for VALORANT Season 2026 // Act 5

Riot Games and VALORANT today revealed the Aeris Collection, the newest skinline launching with Act 5. By blending timeless fantasy with a modern aesthetic, Aeris lets players channel power through enchanted cards and feel like masters of a new magical art. The collection includes the Vandal, Bandit, Guardian, Marshal, and the Suit of Aeris melee, which transforms for different attacks and turns the melee into a magical card with unique animations. The collection also features:

Magical cardistry-themed reload, equip, and inspect animations on weapons.
A finisher where floating magical cards surround the defeated enemy before striking them, culminating in an explosion, pillar of energy, and ethereal ambient music.
Custom kill banner and audio that support variant colors.
A new Flex featuring a magical deck of cards with interactive shuffle and draw animations. There’s a 10% chance to activate an easter egg that replaces the standard deck with cards from the Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game, featuring one of six possible Riftbound card variations.

Players can also unlock an all-new Battlepass featuring items such as the Verdant Cafe Classic, Hot Hot Hot Spray, Verdant Cafe Chef’s Knife, Nuggetman Buddy and more. VALORANT Season 2026 // Act 5 begins August 18, 2026.
