The latest VALORANT leaks claim that a Gundam collaboration might be arriving in the game soon, hyping up both the gaming community as well as the anime community. If the first-person shooter and the popular Japanese military sci-fi anime do end up joining hands, we all know that the end result is going to be epic, especially with VALORANT’s skins being famous for their amazing aesthetics and accuracy.
These very skins set a whole new standard in the world of first-person shooters, adding a certain element to the game. On the other hand, Gundam consists of fans all over the world and has a remarkable cultural influence, along with being an entertainment legacy. Lately, some VALORANT players and enthusiasts have been hinting at a potential crossover between the first-person shooter and the sci-fi franchise.
The VALORANT and Gundam crossover might even end up bringing iconic Gundam-themed skins and weapons. Recent VALORANT leaks have hyped up fans after claiming that the crossover might be coming sometime in the future.
The tactical first-person shooting game attracts players by introducing some unique and vibrant skins. The game’s developers Riot Games have been collaborating with different franchises and artists. VALORANT also collaborated with Zedd, a popular DJ, which led to the addition of the fan-favorite Spectrum skin collection.
As per the recent VALORANT leaks, Riot Games might be planning on collaborating with Bandai Namco for a VALORANT x Gundam crossover, which might see the release of Gundam-themed skins. This crossover has a high chance of happening since the developers focus on expanding the game’s presence in the Asian esports market, and Gundam has plenty of popularity in Asia, which would make this collaboration a strategic move to help engage the local player base.
VALORANT x Gundam Potential Release Date
Riot Games introduces the skin collection in such a way that it continuously offers cosmetic items, making sure that the in-game experience stays good and isn’t disturbed. VALORANT releases episodes and acts, with skin collections being added with each act update. Riot Games also occasionally launches Ultra Edition skins, which are detailed, high-quality, and consist of sound effects and exciting animations.
These skins, which are usually added in the middle of an episode can be bought for only a limited time, and are also considered premium cosmetic content. The X user floxayyy shared VALORANT’s Episode 7 dates, which are as follows:
Act 1: Jun 27 - Aug 29
Act 2: Aug 29 - Oct 31
Act 3: Oct 31 - Jan 9
Some images regarding the VALORANT x Gundam collaboration are showing up online, but it is important to note that similar leaks in the past featuring possible gun skins did not end up being added to the game. This means that players shouldn’t believe everything they see online and take this leak with a grain of salt as well since Riot Games hasn’t officially confirmed anything of the sort. Hopefully, we do hear something soon regarding this epic crossover!
