League of Legends developers gave a first look at the future Zenith Games and King Viego skins
On August 24, 2022, released details on four fresh new skins that will be available around patch 12.17. This time, however, unlike prior patches, it is not a well-known skin line.
Instead, the developers chose to create sports-themed skins with a cyberpunk twist. Aside from that, they’ll be releasing a Viego skin to honor the publication of the book Ruination.
The release of League of Legends’ amazing new skins has taken the whole community by surprise. It’s been a long time since developers caught leakers off guard.
Sports skins are perfect for events like World Cup or the Asian Games. However, such skins are not only available now, but they also have a futuristic feel to them. Jayce, Lee Sin, and Blitzcrank are the champions that will receive Zenith Games skins.
While Zenith Games Jayce’s splash art is still unavailable, artwork for Blitzcrank and Lee Sin depicts the two champions in steel armor with neon accents.
It’s unclear if this new Zenith Games skin line is a reinvention of League’s early sport-themed skin line, or whether it portrays an altogether new universe that has yet to be explored.
Aside from that, the creators are working on a new skin for Viego. This one is unique in that it depicts him in his human form. The King Viego skin is being released to commemorate the publication of the Ruination novel.
Riot has not revealed any of these four skins, but the inclusion of splash images suggests that a reveal is near. The skins are obviously presently accessible on the PBE and will be released on live servers around patch 12.17. The patch is scheduled to be released on September 8.
