As the Worlds season unfolds for League of Legends players, Riot Games is set to cap off the year with a series of exciting developments.
Riot Games hinted at potentially new skin line
In an event explainer video, the charismatic esports caster, CaptainFlowers, takes center stage, providing an in-depth breakdown of the upcoming events spanning the next two months. Among the highlights are the eagerly awaited return of Nexus Blitz, the introduction of League’s new 2023 Coven skins, the visual overhaul of Jax, and the unveiling of Worlds-themed event passes.
However, the video takes a dramatic turn in its concluding moments, unveiling a mysterious teaser that has set the community abuzz with speculation.
Rapidly flashing images across the screen are accompanied by a bewildered voice questioning, “Huh, what is that?” The screen seems to be infiltrated by an unidentified entity, issuing warnings that viewers are subject to surveillance through remotely monitored cameras.
Another screen showcases a restricted access notice, featuring an enigmatic icon never before seen in Riot Games’ content. The teaser crescendos with the bold proclamation, “The World Is Ours,” presented with a logo featuring a head silhouette and a crosshair strategically placed over the eye.
Adding to the intrigue is the widespread speculation that this teaser might herald the arrival of a new skin line, poised to make its debut during or after the Worlds event. Following previous leaks, this might be the hint of a new Boyband from Riot Games.
Rumors abound, particularly within the K-pop community, linking the popular boy band ATEEZ to the teaser. This connection is further fueled by ATEEZ’s earlier visit to Riot’s L.A. headquarters and their releases of EPs titled “The World.” The imagery in Riot’s video is now seen as a potential direct reference to their musical work.
Fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting official news as the month progresses. With Worlds scheduled to continue until November 19, the community braces for an exciting culmination to the League of Legends competitive season.
