The VALORANT cosmetic bazaar is back! Get excited as the recurring Night Market with discounted skin prices hits the game on the 22nd May.

What is a VALORANT Night Market?

VALORANT Night Market is a unique recurrent theme in the game where players can buy skins at discounted prices.

But it is not as simple, these discounts are randomly assigned and players cannot choose the skins they can buy. In sort of a lucky draw, players receive six draws of skins and attached discounts to each of the skin draws.

The Night Market is Riot and VALORANT’s way to introduce ‘gacha’ into the game, adding an element of anticipation and excitement as players look forward to their randomized selection of discounted cosmetic items.

For Episode 8 Act III, the Night Market came much earlier than expected and will last almost a month.

What skins to expect in the upcoming Night Market?

The upcoming night market features the following skinlines:
