Data leaks before each patch have become a tradition for the Valorant community, and it's our friendly data miners who perform these rituals. Valorant Leaks and floxay date Valorant game files before each patch and reveal information that may come in future patches, such as new cosmetic sets and game modes. This time around, they've both confirmed the existence of a new weapon cosmetic set called " Ego " (name may change) and it will arrive in the next 1.08 patch . Valorant Leaks took to Twitter yesterday to talk about what the miner calls " Ego " and it looks like it will be a gold series.
News about the new " Ego " skin couldn't have come at a more opportune time , with the full new Valorant patch released in a few days (possibly tomorrow or the next day) . No matter how much you criticize Riot Games about some of their implementations in Valorant , one thing is certain: the cosmetic development teams are incredibly creative. When it comes to design and creativity, most Valorant looks are incredible to say the least, and it looks like the new " Ego " line is headed in that direction as well.

Data miner Floxay also tweeted about the upcoming cosmetics, showing a picture of the Ego Knife with the Japanese kanji meaning "warrior" on it. Much like the Oni series, 'Ego' can also have a cosmetic aesthetic inspired by Japanese folklore.
