Developed by Riot Games, Valorant is one of the most popular free-to-play first-person tactical hero shooter video games.

Regarded as one of the most played eSports video games the world over, the Night Market is a recurring event in the game that Valorant enthusiasts look forward to.

In essence, the Night Market is a recurring event in Valorant where players are offered weapon skins or covers for purchase at a discounted rate, making it one of the most eagerly anticipated events among the Valorant gaming community.

This event periodically returns at the end of every Act and lasts for a duration of around 20 days.

With episode 7 of Act 3 on Valorant just on the horizon, the Night Market for the second act of the episode has been announced.

Each and every Night Market in Valorant is unique in nature as new skins make their debut appearance in the game. And every update acts as a hint or indicator toward the next big update for the game.
