VALORANT's latest premium skin bundle, the Holo Meridian, is set to hit the in-game store on April 16, 2026, and early previews suggest it could be one of the cleanest cosmetic drops Riot Games has delivered this year.

The Holo Meridian bundle leans into a sleek, sci-fi holographic aesthetic with glowing accents, smooth futuristic body designs, and clean lines that draw immediate comparisons to lines like Spectrum, RGX, and Ion. Data miners who first unearthed the bundle in game files described the design language as a "creamsicle holo-type" finish, giving the weapons a distinctly luminous, high-tech personality that sets them apart from recent offerings.

What's in the Bundle

The Holo Meridian collection comes packed with five weapons across a range of popular roles:

Every skin in the Holo Meridian bundle comes with 4 color variants and 4 upgrade levels, the latter unlocking progressively enhanced animations, visual effects, a unique finisher, and custom sounds.

The Holoflare Melee, like other premium melee weapons, features two upgrade levels and four variants, making it one of the more feature-rich melee weapons Riot has added to the store.

Pricing Breakdown

The bundle sits firmly in VALORANT's premium pricing bracket:

Individual weapon skins: 2,175 VP each
Holoflare Melee: 4,350 VP
Full bundle: 8,700 VP

While the price point is steep, it is right in line with some of the recent bundle prices that Riot has been charging their customers.

However, the Holo Meridian bundle arrives at an interesting moment, dropping right as leaks of a Kuronami 2.0 bundle have also surfaced. If you're a fan of sci-fi and holographic aesthetics and have been waiting for a bundle that covers both the Vandal and Operator under one premium roof, Holo Meridian is hard to overlook.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage. Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
