Riot Games released the IGNITE Melee locally to celebrate the release of Valorant in China. This led many to believe that the skin would be exclusive to the region and not the world. However, after a long silence, the developers confirmed its arrival in the game globally.
Valorant has had many skins released by Riot Games on various occasions and looks stunning. The IGNITE Melee similarly took everyone’s attention for this eye-catching animation and how swiftly it transforms into a Chinese folding fan.
The melee will be released globally now, fans are rejoicing about its arrival while being devastated about not having enough money. Since Riot Games have officially announced the shooter, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming melee skin.
Everything to learn about the IGNITE Melee in Valorant
According to an official statement, Riot Games will release the IGNITE Melee to Valorant soon. No date has been provided yet. However, leaks suggest that it will release on July 14, 2023. As for pricing, nothing has surfaced on the internet as of now.
It can be estimated that this melee might be available at 4700 VP as it is classed as exotic. Additionally, this weapon skin will be available for a limited time only and won’t be coming back with Night Market. So players will have only one chance to grab the skin while it stays in the store.
Reports of a China-exclusive skin have been greatly exaggerated. Celebrate VALORANT’s launch in China by adding some heat to your collection with the transforming IGNITE Melee.

This skin will arrive as a bundle and include Player Cards, an exclusive spray, and more. The melee skin will also feature two variants which can be upgraded using Radianite Points. The total bundle might be priced at 7100 VP, which is typical for exotic skin lines for the shooter.
On the contrary, reports suggest the bundle is available for 100 VP in China. Thus, the IGNITE Melee can arrive cheaper and become the lowest-priced exotic skin ever. However, this is only an approximation made out of Chinese reports.
Fans reacting to the upcoming exotic skin
Exotic skins in Valorant are priced highly as they are available for a limited time only and will be available to players who grab them in time. As a result, Valorant fans are reacting with memes showing empty pockets as they don’t have money to buy it.

Riot Games also released the NEO FRONTIER bundle recently, which was also quite expensive. Now that the news arrives for exclusive skins, people who bought that bundle are low on Valorant Points. Also, these exclusive IGNITE Melee look too great, and there will be interested parties who will purchase it.
