Just a few hours after the release of the VCT 2025 team capsules in Valorant, it seems the upcoming melee skin for this season has already been leaked.
Recently, Riot Games announced in a dev update that a new VCT Melee would be coming to Valorant this season. A similar release occurred in 2023 when the devs introduced the VCT LOCK//IN capsule. Priced at 5,440 VP, the LOCK//IN capsule featured an exclusive melee skin available for a limited time.
While Riot Games has yet to shed light on the melee skin for the VCT 2025 season, dataminers have managed to dig up the game files and uncover the first looks at the new knife.
VCT 2025 Melee Skin Will Be a Karambit
As per a leak from prominent Valorant dataminer ‘VALORANTLeaksEN’, the VCT 2025 melee skin will be a Karambit knife.
Players are able to catch a glimpse of the Karambit by checking out the official showcase videos for some of the VCT 2025 team capsules and pausing at the right moment.
VCT 2025 Karambit Release Date
At the time of writing, the release date for the VCT 2025 Karambit remains unclear. Players will need to wait for official confirmation from Riot Games for details regarding its launch.
VCT 2025 Karambit Price
As mentioned earlier, the VCT LOCK//IN bundle, which included a similar limited-time melee weapon, boasted a price tag of 5,440 VP. Fans can likely expect the new Karambit to have a similar price point, if not higher.
