Valorant's Oni 2.0 collection: Release date and time for all regions

Valorant will soon welcome a new competitive frame and fresh in-game content. With the upcoming Episode 6 Act 2, players will finally get their chance to grab the highly anticipated sequel of the Oni, the Oni 2.0 collection, from the Store in just a day’s time.

With Valorant being a free-to-play tactical shooter, Riot Games launches new, alluring cosmetics (premium weapon skin lines and Battlepasses) periodically to help support the continuous development of the game. Players can purchase skins and other cosmetics using the game’s virtual currency, Valorant Points (VP).

Despite the cosmetics bringing no competitive advantage, fans are always eager to purchase eye-catchy skins for the look and feel. The first Oni collection was released in Episode 1 and instantly captured thousands of hearts with its aura. It was undoubtedly a hit, compelling the developers to ideate and present a sequel.
