Reign terror on your enemies.
The Valorant Nocturnum skin is one of the most highly anticipated bundles arriving with Episode 9 Act 2.
The new bundle isn’t just any skin — it’s a full-blown mystical experience wrapped in terror and beauty. Inspired by ancient, forbidden rituals, the Nocturnum skinline brings eerie, transformative magic to your favorite weapons, making it a must-have for any player looking to add some serious style, and maybe a little fear, to their kills.
With its hauntingly gorgeous designs and jaw-dropping effects, this skinline is more than just a visual upgrade — it delivers a dark fantasy element that evolves as you play.
From its creepy, transforming scythe to its epic finisher, we’ll break down what’s included in this bundle, when it drops, and how much it’ll cost to wield this ancient power.
What is the Valorant Nocturnum skin?
The Valorant Nocturnum skin is a dark fantasy-inspired collection that draws heavily from mystical rituals and shadowy transformations. According to Riot Games’ Product Manager Laura Baltzer, the goal was to blend beauty with terror, a duality reflected perfectly in the bundle’s standout features.
The real showstopper is the new scythe melee weapon, transforming into a dagger. Each form of the melee has its own custom animations, effects, and sinister edge that’s hard to ignore.
It’s not just for looks either. Custom animations, sound effects, and a ceremonial transformation sequence make this melee weapon a chillingly unique addition to your arsenal.
When you complete the Nocturnum ritual by getting the final kill, players summon Noctis, a dark entity that drapes the battlefield in shadows.
