VALORANT Lunar 2026 Event Pass: How to unlock all rewards

The Lunar New Year 2026 marks the start of the Year of the Horse, and Riot is celebrating across its games. League of Legends will get special skins, while VALORANT is offering players a free event pass packed with rewards to unlock.

The Lunar 2026 Event Pass is coming to VALORANT, bringing fresh rewards for every player. The event runs from Feb. 5 to March 2, coinciding with the Chinese New Year festivities.

You don’t need to spend countless hours to earn these rewards, as gaining experience is relatively easy. Simply play games and complete the pass! But remember, the pass is only available for a limited time, so don’t miss out. Here are all the rewards you can get:

Some leaks hint that Riot plans to release a new bundle, though they haven’t confirmed it yet. We’ll keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available.

On the official VALORANT X, Riot has released a new trailer for the celebrations. We are able to see both Gekko and Iso having fun trying to destroy all flying targets. Their dialogue included multiple references to horses, as 2026 marks the Year of the Horse. Some fans speculate that the background music is a sneak peek at a Chinese rap song coming out to celebrate the event.

As a user explained under the post, "this is a Chinese worldplay joke." While “马” means horse, “马枪” is slang for missing the shot. And that is why the teaser is all about nontsop failed shots.

Each Chinese New Year is represented by a different animal. Over a 12-year cycle, each animal symbolizes certain personality traits and is associated with popular traditions, such as dragon and lion dances, red decorations, and fireworks. The festival is widely celebrated across East and Southeast Asia. The Year of the Horse symbolises energy, independence, and momentum.
