VALORANT Riot Games Aeris Collection video game update skin bundle

Riot Games has launched Season 2026 // Act 5 for VALORANT, introducing the Aeris Collection and the 13.04 update. The new content features a magical cardistry theme, combining fantasy elements with modern aesthetics.

The Aeris Collection includes weapon skins for the Vandal, Bandit, Guardian, and Marshal, alongside the Suit of Aeris melee weapon. The melee weapon is notable for its ability to transform between a dagger, sword, and greatsword during attacks. The bundle also features custom animations, a unique finisher involving floating cards, and a new interactive Flex item. There is a 10% chance to trigger an easter egg that displays cards from the Riftbound: League of Legends trading card game.

In addition to the new skins, the update includes a new Battlepass and various technical improvements. Patch 13.04 addresses bugs related to agents such as Deadlock and Cypher, and implements map rotations for Competitive and Deathmatch modes, including the addition of Abyss to the competitive pool.
