With the anticipated release of Jax’s Visual Update (VU) in the latest League of Legends patch, Riot Games has exciting plans to introduce an entirely new skin variant—Neo PAX Jax, and here’s how players can get their hands on it.
Jax, a champion introduced in 2009, has consistently held his position as one of the most beloved characters in League of Legends. His easy-to-learn, hard-to-master kit has resonated with players across all levels.
Riot Games had initially intended to roll out a comprehensive VGU for Jax this year. However, due to the substantial scope of the changes, they opted for a phased release. The gameplay version was launched first as a mini-rework, and now, players eagerly await the visual overhaul set to arrive in the upcoming patch.
In the upcoming patch, Riot Games is not limiting themselves to just enhancing Jax’s base visual appearance. They’re going the extra mile by revamping his entire skin arsenal.
New Neo Pax Jax and how to get it
Additionally, players will finally have the opportunity to acquire Jax’s only unobtainable skin—PAX Jax. Originally released as an exclusive reward for attendees of the PAX event in 2010, this skin became unattainable for newer accounts after Riot disabled the redeem code.
To commemorate the impending release of Jax’s visual rework, Riot Games is introducing Neo PAX Jax, a new variant of the coveted skin.
Here’s the scoop on how players can obtain this exclusive skin. If you’re among the fortunate players who already possess the original PAX Jax skin, congratulations! You’ll automatically receive the Neo PAX Jax variant at no extra cost. However, patience is key, as it might take a few weeks for the new skin to appear in your inventory.
For those who missed out on the PAX Jax skin previously, fret not. Riot Games is making it available in the mythic shop for a reasonable price of 200 ME (Mythic Essence).
The release of Neo PAX Jax is perfectly timed to coincide with the broader Jax rework in Patch 13.20, scheduled for release on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
League of Legends players can look forward to an enhanced visual experience for Jax and the exciting opportunity to add the Neo PAX Jax skin to their collection.
