After weeks of leaks and speculation, VALORANT has officially pulled the curtain back on the Holo Meridian skin bundle. Originally thought to be just an internal codename, Holo Meridian is the official title of the next major premium collection hitting the store.
Riot Games, alongside international VALORANT social accounts, has dropped the first official teasers, giving us a look at the weapon models, the sound design, and the finisher. But does the in-game reality live up to the hype of the promotional art?
Here is everything we know about the Holo Meridian bundle, from its weapon lineup to its expected release date and price.
The Holo Meridian Lineup
The Holo Meridian collection is bringing skins to some of the most popular weapons in the current meta. The full bundle includes:
- Vandal
- Operator
- Sheriff
- Judge
- Holo Meridian Knife (Melee)
First Impressions: The “Solar Stride” Controversy
While the promotional artwork for the Holo Meridian bundle had players anticipating a massive, Reaver-style model overhaul, the first in-game gameplay teasers have left some players slightly underwhelmed.
- The Vandal Model: When viewing the Vandal in a first-person perspective, the model changes appear much less drastic than the splash art suggested.
- The Solar Stride Comparison: Early community feedback points out that the Vandal feels incredibly similar to the Solar Stride collection, which was released just a couple of months prior. For players looking for a completely unique geometry, this might feel a bit repetitive.
- The Saving Grace: Where the bundle does succeed is its finisher. The official teaser showed off a highly stylized, cinematic finisher that adds significant value to the weapon upgrades, alongside some very clean audio cues.
Chinese regional accounts have also posted extended gameplay trailers showing off the variants and animations, so players will have plenty of footage to review before making a purchase decision.
Expected Pricing and Release Date
Based on the inclusion of a custom finisher, unique audio, and variants, Holo Meridian is expected to launch as an Exclusive-tier bundle.
| Item | Expected Price |
| Full Bundle | ~8,700 VP |
| Individual Weapons | 2,175 VP |
| Melee Knife | 4,350 VP |
Release Date: The bundle is set to hit the live servers imminently. Players can expect to see Holo Meridian in the featured store rotation by the end of this week (mid-April), rotating in as soon as the current featured bundle expires.
