Magepunk was actually supposed to launch in Episode 1 Act 3, but it got delayed a few times despite players having hints of it existing. It had been leaked through some data mining right around when VALORANT launched, and Riot Games also teased the collection last year. According to Riot Games Producer Preeti Khanolkar a “challenge we had was how to make variants for these skins. Because this was still so early in development, at the time we were going pretty far with our variants: doing a large change to color, texture, and material. The moment we removed some of the brass or metallic elements from the weapons, it felt like it didn’t fit the theme anymore. Ultimately, what felt the most right from an experience perspective was to keep the base version of the materials, but change the color of the magical energy.”
