In an exciting turn of events, Riot Games has announced the global release of the highly anticipated IGNITE melee and capsule for their popular game, Valorant.

Initially introduced as exclusive cosmetics for the Chinese market, these new additions have garnered attention worldwide for their unique design and impressive visual effects.

The IGNITE melee is a knife cosmetic initially intended for the Chinese version of Valorant. However, Riot Games decided to commemorate the game's launch in China by releasing these exclusive cosmetics globally.

The melee knife features an intriguing design, capable of unfurling into a fan with vibrant flame visual effects during inspection or while slashing through enemies.

Valorant enthusiasts can choose between two versions of the IGNITE melee: a captivating purple and white knife or a striking red and gold variant.

So, how can players get their hands on the IGNITE melee and capsule?

The IGNITE capsule will be available for purchase in the in-game Valorant store upon its release. Alongside the two melee variants, the capsule will include two sprays, two Playercards, and two Player Titles.

It's worth noting that the cosmetic pack will not be obtainable through the Battle Pass, meaning players must purchase the bundle while it's available in the store. Unfortunately, the exact price for the cosmetic bundle is unknown.

Excitingly, fans can expect the IGNITE capsule to hit the storefront, as the release date is set for July 14.

These cosmetics are part of a limited release, meaning that once the timeframe expires, they will not return to the Valorant store or the Night Market.

Players interested in acquiring the IGNITE melee or other cosmetics in the bundle must act quickly during the limited release period.

IGNITE is just another example of how prolific the Skins market can get

Apart from the IGNITE melee and capsule, Riot Games has made a significant impact on the skins market worldwide. Valorant offers a wide range of skins, including weapon skins, character skins, and other cosmetic items that players can acquire to customize their in-game experience.
