To honor the 2026 Lunar New Year, Riot Games has unveiled the “Solarstride” bundle, a collection inspired by the strength and momentum of the Year of the Horse. This thematic release aims to bring the spirit of East and Southeast Asian festivities into the tactical shooter, offering players a high-energy aesthetic to match their gameplay. Check out the detailed information on VALORANT Lunar New Year Bundle below.
VALORANT Lunar New Year: What’s in the Solarstride Bundle?
The collection focuses on three essential weapons, each designed to capture the fiery essence of the horse:
- Vandal
- Guardian
- Melee
Every skin in the bundle features four distinct color variants. While the default version showcases a clean white design, players can also unlock purple, blue, and pink versions to customize their loadouts. Riot recently showcased these variations and their accompanying animations via a teaser on their official social media channels.

While Riot has not officially confirmed the price, early community leaks estimate the bundle will cost approximately 5,000 VALORANT Points (VP). Fans won’t have to wait long to confirm this; with the Reaver bundle currently occupying the featured shop slot, Solarstride is expected to arrive within the week.
