From Press Release:
Inspired by ancient Japanese samurai culture and mythology, VALORANT’s Oni collection was first released in 2020 and became a highly-popular skinline among players. Oni will soon feature new skins for the Vandal, Ares, Bulldog, Frenzy and a brand new Katana, the Onimaru Kunitsuna.
Oni masks are at the heart of this skinline – a combination of 3D renders and traditional 2D anime style animation bring mask spirits and their effects to life for each corresponding weapon. The new Oni skins will launch with Episode 6 Act II on March 7.
Developer Q&A
“By expanding on the skinline, the team felt like they could really push the fantasy in a way we didn’t get to in 2020 with the original Oni skins.” – Preeti Khanolkar, Lead Cosmetics Producer
