The Xerofang bundle by Riot Games sounds like an exciting addition to the Valorant collection, blending modern aesthetics with iconic influences from Tron Legacy and Blade Runner. The inclusion of skins for the melee, Vandal, and ghost, each with three color variants, provides players with a range of customization options to suit their preferences.
The attention to detail extends to the Xerofang knife, which features not only the standard melee grip archetype but also introduces new custom right-click and idle animations. The highlight of the Xerofang finisher is the summoning of a digital dragon, a distinct departure from the Shenron look-a-like featured in the Imperium bundle inspired by Dragon Ball Z.
Senior Game Producer Jean Luc Tin Sive’s statement emphasizes the development team’s commitment to balancing visual impact with gameplay functionality. The refinement of the scales’ movement through iterative design, along with the strategic reduction of scale animation, showcases the dedication to maintaining immersion in the game.
Additionally, the inclusion of a dragon motif in the player card and gun buddy adds a literal representation of the bundle’s theme, tying together the visual elements across different aspects of the game. It appears that the Xerofang bundle not only brings a sleek and futuristic look to the game but also integrates these visual enhancements seamlessly into the gameplay experience.
