New Champion: K’Sante
Our latest champion, K’Sante, is now on the PBE for testing! Here’s
Riot Pehrek with a
bugs & feedback thread for K’Sante and his skins:
“Hi, y’all! I’m Patrick (or Pehrek), a QA Engineer on League’s Champs
team!
K’Sante, the Pride of Nazumah, Will be hitting PBE soon, so we wanted to
start a thread to post announcements and collect feedback. We have around a
week before locking in any changes for his release, so I and Riot Williams
(QA Engineer on K’Sante) will be monitoring common suggestions in the
comments to share back with the team for possible adjustments.
If you encounter any in-game bugs while playing K’Sante and/or his Empyrean
skin, please let us know by heading to our Bug Reporting Tool and providing
any information on the issue. Providing repro steps or a video clip are
incredibly helpful for debugging as well!
Much appreciated!

Lore
“Defiant and courageous, K’Sante battles colossal beasts and ruthless
Ascended to protect his home of Nazumah, a coveted oasis amid the sands of
Shurima. But after a falling-out with his former partner, K’Sante realizes
that in order to become a warrior worthy of leading his city, he must
temper his single-minded drive for success. Only then can he avoid falling
prey to his own pride and find the wisdom he needs to defeat the vicious
monsters threatening his people.”
Voiceover
Here’s a look at K’Sante’s voiceover:
Release Skins
K’Sante is releasing with two skins:
Empyrean K’Sante
1350 RP
K’Sante prides himself on leading under adversity, but this is a challenge
unlike any other. His realm is gone, he’s living on borrowed time, and the
other Empyreans don’t realize that something released the Foreglow.
Something bad. He knows only they can fix it, but they need their eyes
opened. They need a leader.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
Prestige Empyrean K’Sante
Mythic Essence
K’Sante’s always been a trailblazer on the fashion circuit, and this year he
definitely wants to make the audience sweat. With his crystal-laden drip and
flawless makeup, he’s about to light a fire under this Gala.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
Champion Skins
A new skinline has hit the PBE:
- Universe
-
Neon Strata: Few know of the Foreglow, and even fewer have seen its
volatile neon flames. Normally a cosmic balancing force, something has
tipped the scales, causing realms to collapse and funnel the
Foreglow’s power into single beings. Now known as Empyreans, these
otherworldly forces of nature blaze a trail through the realms, each
with their own agenda. The fire is spreading, with no end in sight.
-
Empyrean: The first Empyrean, Pyke, tears through the realms on a destructive
rampage against his counterparts, birthing new Empyreans in the
process. Who will reign supreme as these new powerhouses emerge, and
what will they do with their rapidly dwindling time left?
Empyrean Jax
1350 RP
Hailing from a realm where he failed to protect his kingdom from
annihilation, Jax was content to live in exile, until everything
collapsed. Now an Empyrean, he knows that somewhere out there his kingdom
is still intact. Even if it destroys him, he’ll use all of his power to
see his home one more time.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
Hello All!
Empyrean Jax has arrived to defend the Rift featuring:
- Custom models and textures!
- Custom VFX!
- Custom SFX!
- Custom Recall animation!
Empyrean Jax is an Epic skin set to 1350 RP and is available on
PBE!

Empyrean Jhin
1350 RP
Jhin woke as an Empyrean with a sensation he’d never known before: true
warmth. Exhilarated by the power, he set innocents ablaze with a flick of
his hand. Finally, a muse worthy of him! The realization that “she” is
slowly killing him only charms him more. Now if only he could find her
source…
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
“Hello All!
“In carnage, I bloom, like a flower in the dawn.”
Empyrean Jhin is heading onto the Rift with:
Custom models and textures!
- Custom VFX!
- Custom SFX!
- Custom recall Animation!
Empyrean Jhin is set to be 1350 RP.
Empyrean Jhin is available on PBE! As players who get a first-hand
look at this upcoming content, we want to hear your thoughts. Drop
your feedback in the thread below!
– Riot Eneopa”
Empyrean Lux
1350 RP
Forced to live in squalor and shame for her magical abilities, Lux
ironically escaped certain death when her realm collapsed. Now with the
raw power of the Foreglow, she’s free. It doesn’t matter that she’s on her
last legs: she intends to live and experience as much as she can before
the fire consumes her.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
“Hello All!
Empyrean Lux is here to light up the Rift featuring:
- Custom models and textures!
- Custom VFX!

-6armedrobot”
Empyrean Pyke
1820 RP (Legendary)
Pyke remembers little before falling into the embrace of the Foreglow,
only that he was defending his home. Waking in a new realm as the first
Empyrean, he hears the whispers of other Pykes across the dimensions,
taunting him from their homes. Why was his lost and not theirs? No answer
will satisfy his searing rage, except vengeance.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
As a legendary skin, Empyrean Pyke has a new voiceover:
Here’s Riot Sirhaian with a
features thread for Empyrean Pyke:
Here’s Bagel Socks with a

thread for Empyrean Pyke:
“Hi all!
“Every kill makes the voices louder… and I looove what they’re
screaming.”
Legendary skin, Empyrean Pyke, is heading onto the Rift, featuring:
- Custom models and textures!
- Custom VFX!
- Custom SFX!

-Bagel Socks”
Empyrean Vex
1350 RP
Vex didn’t need anyone. Growing up alone, she was self-sufficient and
annoyed by most people. Her realm’s destruction barely made her blink, but
her new Empyrean powers did give her an idea. By empowering her own
shadow, she finally had a companion she tolerated. Vex may not need
anyone, but then again, misery loves company.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
Here’s Riot Eneopa with a bugs & feedback thread for Empyrean Vex:
“Hello All!
“‘Kay. See if I care.”
Emperyean Vex is heading onto the Rift with:
- Custom models and textures!
- Custom VFX!
- Custom SFX!
- Custom recall Animation!
Emperyean Vex is set to be 1350 RP.

– Riot Eneopa”
Empyrean Zac
1350 RP
The Foreglow affects everyone differently. For Zac, it burned away all of
his insecurities, but opened up his senses to the loneliness felt by the
other Zacs across the realms. They needed him, and now he has the power to
bring everyone together as one. A family reunion for the ages.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]
“Hello All!
Empyrean Zac is bouncing onto the Rift featuring:
- Custom models and textures!
- Custom VFX!
- Custom SFX!
- Custom Recall animation!
Empyrean Zac is an Epic skin set to 1350 RP and is available on
PBE!
Please leave any feedback or questions down below.
-6armedrobot”
Empyrean Zed
1350 RP
The Foreglow is a power many desire, but Zed resents how it exposes him. His
is a strength born from darkness, away from prying eyes. Perhaps in the
fallen Husk realm left in Pyke’s wake can he build a new domain of shadows,
one that no Empyrean can topple.
[While splash art was previewed, it is not yet on the PBE!]

Preseason 2023
Preseason 2023 continues testing on the PBE this cycle! Check out these
links for details on the changes being tested!
“Preseason 2023 changes will begin hitting PBE tomorrow! Before they’re
out, we wanted to walk you through all of the changes you can expect to
see roll out to PBE over the next few weeks. We’re shipping them a bit
early this year to give us time to test changes and gather your
feedback, so make sure you get those games in because there’s plenty to
try out!
Housekeeping note: Things will be in a pretty early state when you first
see them, so expect changes to things like icons, item and effect names,
visual and sound effects, stat values, and more as we continue to test
features during PBE. Barring massive table-flips, this preview page
won’t be updated after publishing. When the patch notes come out,
they’ll have all the final details as usual.”
