VALORANT Introduces Run It Back: Lunar 26 Capsule

Riot Games is preparing to release a brand-new premium bundle in VALORANT alongside Patch 12.02, introducing the Run It Back: Lunar 26 Capsule. Designed to celebrate Lunar New Year 2026 — the Year of the Horse, the capsule revives some of VALORANT’s most popular premium weapon skins, reimagined with exclusive Lunar-themed recolors and variants.

This limited-time bundle blends nostalgia with festive flair, giving fan-favorite skins a bold new look inspired by traditional Lunar New Year aesthetics.

Fan-Favorite Skins Return With Lunar-Themed Designs ✨

The Run It Back: Lunar 26 Capsule contains six total items, including four weapon skins, one melee, and a brand-new gun buddy. Most of the featured weapons are recolored versions of previously released premium skins, redesigned with striking red and gold color schemes, glowing accents, butterflies, and festive particle effects that reflect Lunar New Year celebrations.

These updated visuals are paired with enhanced lighting effects and subtle animations, giving familiar weapons a fresh, celebratory identity without altering their original premium feel.

• Gaia’s Vengeance Ghost (Premium)
• Forsaken Operator (Premium)
• Nocturnum Phantom (Premium)
• Evori’s Spellcaster Melee (Exclusive)
• FDGT// SPNR Flex – a new fidget spinner-style gun buddy

However, the complete Run It Back: Lunar 26 Capsule is expected to be priced between 7,500 and 8,995 VP, offering a notable discount compared to purchasing each item separately. Final pricing has not yet been officially confirmed by Riot Games.

The official reveal trailer presents the capsule through a festive Run It Back store display, decorated with lanterns, banners, and fireworks to match the Lunar New Year theme.
