The Ayakashi bundle in VALORANT is a limited-time Exclusive-tier skin collection that is themed around yokai and dark spirits from Japanese mythology.
This new bundle blends spiritual effects with sleek, modern weapon designs, similar in vibe to Kuronami, but has its own distinct animations and VFX. It’s designed to launch alongside VALORANT’s Season 26 Act I update, and includes unique custom audio, finisher, and inspection animations across the collection.
Having that said, here’s everything you need to know about the Ayakashi bundle, including its skins, melee, price, release date, and more.

VALORANT Ayakashi bundle release date
The Ayakashi bundle releases on Jan. 7, 2026, alongside the Season Act I update. Depending on your region, the exact day may appear slightly different because of time zones, as in some regions, it may show up on Jan. 8. However, the in-client rotation lines up with the global update window.
The bundle is time-limited, so once it rotates out of the featured slot, it will only return via the Night Market or individual daily offers later on, if at all.
All Ayakashi bundle skins and price
The total price of the Ayakashi bundle costs 7,160 VP, and it includes Phantom, Ghost, Kogitsune melee, gun buddy, player card, and spray.
Here are the individual prices of each of the items from the bundle:
- Ayakashi Phantom: 1,775 VP
- Ayakashi Ghost: 1,775 VP
- Ayakashi Melee (Kogitsune): 3,550 VP
- Ayakashi Spray: 325 VP
- Ayakashi Gun Buddy: 475 VP
- Ayakashi Player Card: 375 VP
These VP values match the total 7,160 VP when bundled, which lines up with other Exclusive-tier bundles. All items support four color variants, including default plus red, pink, and blue styles.
The Ayakashi Phantom is the main rifle skin in the set, carrying the same supernatural aesthetic with swirling spiritual effects and reactive audio. You can upgrade it by spending Radianite Points you get from Battle Pass or the store.
The Ayakashi Ghost turns your pistol into a stylish, animated sidearm that feels premium even in pistol rounds. It comes with a new reload animation, including a unique inspection where the Ghost is spun stylishly, and shares the same four variants and custom SFX as the Phantom and melee.
Kogitsune is the star of the Ayakashi bundle. It’s a dual short katana melee, a first-of-its-kind setup for this particular design in VALORANT. At the end of the final kill, a dramatic finisher is shown where the kill transforms the map into a spectral scene featuring a huge kitsune mask, glowing spirit tails, and a moonlit backdrop.
