Year of the Ox's skins were... average, let's put it that way. And what did Riot prepare for Year of the Tiger? Check it out for yourself!
We all knew that we'd get some new content to the game for the Chinese New Year, although we hoped that for something a little better than last year. So, it looks like instead of a cheap skin line that no one will play, Riot decided to give us three things that the community will definitely not despise – a skin bundle, Night Market, and a free Event Pass.
Looks cool, huh? Let's get into the details!
Tigris Bundle: Weapon Skins & Price
Let's start with something we all knew was coming – the new skin line. Tigris bundle will contain non-upgradeable weapon skins for:
- Phantom
- Operator
- Spectre
- Shorty
- Melee
Have a look at them all here:
As for every Premium collection, pricing for Tigris skins will look as follows:
| Item | Price |
| Entire Bundle | 7100 VP |
| Gun Skins | 1775 VP each |
| Melee Skin | 3550 VP |
Tigris Event Pass
We'll also get a free Event Pass, which will include some cosmetics related to the Chinese New Year. It will contain 7 rewards, and you can get them all by just grinding 63,000XP, which you have 15 days for.
| Tier | Rewards |
| 1 | "Tiger" Title |
| 2 | Lucky Tiger Spray |
| 3 | 10 Radianite Points |
| 4 | "Fortune" Title |
| 5 | Happy Dumpling Gun Buddy |
| 6 | 10 Rdianite Points |
| 7 | Wishing You Happiness Player Card |
Tigris Night Market
The image you see above has been spreading around social media for a few weeks and now makes a lot more sense. It looks like Night Market will be coming back to the game; the question is whether it will be in the same form as always? Let's be honest – Night Market has so much lost potential, it begs for a revamp. We even asked you about your feelings about the state of Night Market on our Discord some time ago, and here are the results:
Will Riot try something new to celebrate Lunar New Year? Well, we hope so. However, the most important thing is that the Night Market is coming back, and so we wish you the best of luck with your skins and discounts!
Tigris Bundle: Release Date
It seems that the Tigris Bundle will go live on February 1st (as this is when Lunar New Year starts), along with a minor balance patch. So, all these skins and features that we talked about here are actually coming to the game today! Chinese people usually celebrate the Lunar New Year for 15 days, so that's how long we expect you to be able to buy this new skin bundle and enjoy the free Event Pass and Night Market.
