VALORANT: “Bubblegum Deathwish” Bundle and the Season 2025 - Act V Battlepass arrive on August 20

Riot Games is preparing a major shop launch alongside a new VALORANT seasonal pass. The candy-acid “Bubblegum Deathwish” bundle is approaching as teasers intensify, while the Season 2025 Act V Battle Pass is scheduled for 20 August 2025 and will cost 1,000 VP.

Early promotional art for the bundle shows a neon magenta-and-green design with graffiti accents, which will be available for the Phantom, Operator, Stinger, and Sheriff. The bundle will be topped off with a headline melee weapon in the shape of a chainsaw. Expect high-saturation shells with slime-green cores and playful decals. A design intended to stand out on broadcast screens and thumbnails alike. Final pricing, variants, finishers and audio have not yet been disclosed, but the visual identity is already unmistakable.

The Battle Pass itself is split into free and paid tracks. Standouts on the free track include the Interhelm Classic, the Spike Rush Cup Flex title, the Quack n’ Loaded player card, the Duck Chillin gun buddy, and the Cheesy Bait spray. This gives casual players a handful of cosmetic rewards without spending beyond the base queue time.

Those who upgrade will unlock a premium selection of new weapon skins and lore-inspired cosmetics. Highlights include the Interhelm Sword and Interhelm Phantom, which provide a cohesive set feel, the Belaflaire Vandal and Haloform Guardian, which are ideal for rifle mains; the Baker TactiBear and Mosh Vial buddies, which offer a lighter touch; and profile pieces such as the 5 Years: Fire Again card, the TB-01 Titan card, the animated "Dodge This Dodge That" spray, and the "Goodbye, Site" spray to punctuate clutches and site exits.

Taken together, the Bubblegum Deathwish bundle is the instant-impact store pick for anyone chasing a statement look, while the Act V Battle Pass is the value option for regular players who want steady unlocks throughout the season. Watch Riot's channels for the final store sheet and regional rollouts of the bundle as the 20 August pass date approaches.
