Anker is no stranger to gaming-themed products. The company has previously released Black Myth: Wukong versions of its Prime Docking Station and Prime Power Bank. Now, it is teaming up with Riot Games for a limited-edition Valorant collection.
The new lineup includes special versions of Anker’s latest desktop hub and 100W laptop charger. Unlike a typical gaming collaboration that simply adds a logo or printed design, Anker has built the Valorant theme into the devices’ displays.
Valorant Agents appear on the built-in displays
Both accessories come with built-in smart displays, which Anker is using to show Valorant-themed interfaces. The desktop hub will let you switch between up to eight Agent-themed designs, while the laptop charger will show matching chibi-style versions of the characters.
Jett will be the default Agent when the devices ship. Phoenix and Killjoy will be added through an over-the-air update in October. Anker’s promotional video also shows five locked character slots. Based on their silhouettes, they appear to be Viper, Cypher, Chamber, Omen, and Reyna. Anker says these characters will arrive in future updates.
The displays are still useful beyond the Valorant artwork. You can use them to check the time, view charging information, and run a focus timer.
The hardware itself also keeps the same features as the regular versions. The desktop hub has a 10-in-1 setup with data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, DisplayPort 2.1, SD and microSD card readers, and built-in cable management.
The 100W charger can automatically detect the connected device and choose the appropriate charging mode.
A Valorant gift box for early buyers
Anker is also offering a special Valorant gift box for buyers who want the full collector’s package. The box features a large embossed “ACE” graphic and includes several themed accessories.
Inside, you get a Wingman plush keychain, an earbud pouch inspired by the in-game Spike, a tote bag covered in character sketches, and a sheet of chibi stickers.
However, the gift box is limited to the first 1,000 customers who buy either the Valorant desktop hub or charger after sales begin.
There is also a condition if you decide to return the product. The gift box and its contents must be returned with the hub or charger. If you keep the merchandise, Anker says it will deduct the retail value of the gift box from your refund.
Early access sign-ups are now open on Anker’s website and will close on September 21 at 11:59 PM PDT. Sales will begin one minute later, on September 22.
Anker has already revealed the prices of the regular versions. The desktop hub will launch on September 10 for around $85, while the 100W charger will arrive on September 17 for €59.99.
The company has not revealed pricing for the Valorant editions yet. It should be announced when sales officially begin on September 22.
