Valorant Episode 8: Kuronami Skinline

Everything you need to know about Valorant Episode 8 Kuronami Skinline

Valorant Episode 8: DEFIANCE is starting in less than 24 hours, and along with the Reckoning cinematic, a new map rotation, buffs and nerfs, and a rank reset, we’re also getting a brand new skinline to boost our Valorant wardrobes, the Kuronami skinline!

When is the Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 Release Date?

Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 will launch on January 10, 2024. As Episode 7 ended on January 8, the transition to the new episode will take less than 48 hours, aligning with the previous episodes.

While the announced launch time is 2 PM PT (5 PM ET/10 PM BST), there's a degree of flexibility in the actual release time due to the amount of maintenance the brand-new episode requires. As usual, the ranked queues are already closed, while Riot performs server maintenance to accommodate the rollout of the new update. As for the Night Market, you only have a couple of hours left to get some of the sweetest deals in Valorant, as it wraps up a day before the Episode 8 Act 1 release.

Now, let’s take a look at the Kuronami, the skinline that’s already the talk of the Valorant community, despite not having been released yet. If you like blades, then you will love the Kuronami skins. Every single weapon in this new collection looks like it was created for a ninja, from the custom Kunai dual-handed knives connected by a chain to the Vandal’s newest weapon skin.

It’s only fitting that Lotus is returning this episode, together with Icebox, as it fits Kuronami’s theme perfectly.

Now, speaking of new things, the Outlaw is finally being added to the weapon shop as the latest sniper rifle, boosting the ranks of Valorant’s tools of destruction! This is the very first weapon to ever be added to Valorant since its release in 2020.

If you’re eager to get the Outlaw right away and show off your skills as an Operator in style, you’re not the only one. But if you’re aiming to get that Marshal Kuronami skin to own some of the scrubs trying out the Outlaw for the first time, come and take a look at how you can get your hands on the new Kuronami skin collection.

When is the Valorant Kuronami skinline being released?

The Kuronami skinline is scheduled to hit Valorant’s shop on January 9, 2024.

As for the prices, here’s how much you have to pay to boost your skin collection with the Kuronami skins or bundle:

Bundle Cost: 9,500 VP (includes four gun skins, one dual-handed melee weapon, two gun buddies, one animated player card, and one animated spray.) Kuronami No Yaiba (dual-handed melee): 5,350 VP Marshal: 2,375 VP Sheriff: 2,375 VP Spectre: 2,375 VP Vandal: 2,375 VP

There will also be a purple design variant, a white design variant, and a black design variant, each with a customer Finisher.

As an exclusive skinline, acquiring the Kuronami bundle will set you back around $95. While it’s a substantial investment for the full package, choosing the entire bundle is cheaper than buying each individual skin separately.

And there you have it—a comprehensive overview of the Kuronami skinline in Valorant. For more insights into Valorant, check out our other news and articles.
