Leo Faria, the head of VALORANT Esports, has unveiled the highly anticipated launch date for VCT team skins and cosmetics. Proclaiming it in a comprehensive Twitter thread that dissected the intricacies of the 2024 VCT season and even provided a glimpse into early 2025 changes, Faria declared that the VCT team skin bundles are set to debut in February 2024. 

Rather than pinpointing specific release dates, Faria linked the launch to each league's kickoff tournament, a pivotal event determining Masters Madrid qualification. The kickoff tournaments are scheduled for Feb. 16th in the Americas, Feb. 17th in the Pacific, Feb. 20th in EMEA, and Feb. 22nd in the inaugural season of VCT China. 

These highly anticipated bundles will be accessible throughout the entire season, offering a treasure trove of exclusive content to every team in the international leagues, including the Ascension teams. Each bundle is carefully curated, featuring a distinctive gun skin and an array of other enticing "goodies." Faria expressed the VALORANT Esports team's enthusiasm, describing them as "bullish" on the prospect of in-game team skins. 

The creators behind the VCT team skins aspire to replicate the remarkable revenue generation achieved by VCT-themed bundles in the past two years. Riot reports an impressive $33 million in digital item revenue shared directly with participating teams, with nearly $12 million allocated to players and coaches. Faria emphasized that the income from skins, coupled with Riot's base stipend and additional incentives, empowers organizations to continually invest in VALORANT.
