The Crystalis Indomitus collection introduces a breathtaking black-and-gold palette adorned with crystal-like accents, fiery sparks, electrifying lightning, and enigmatic glow. Kha’Zix, Xerath, and Nautilus have been chosen as the first recipients of these stunning skins, with Kha’Zix leading the pack and coming out this March.

In last year’s State of Skins update, Riot shared its plans to overhaul the Mythic Shop thematic. Out with the Ashen Knights and in with something more “crystalline,” the devs said. This new theme unveils a world where once-lost magic resurfaces in the form of mesmerizing crystals.

The Mythic Shop will also see an expansion in the number of Prestige skins available at any given time, from the current two to an increased four. With this update, players can quickly switch through Prestige skins, making it more likely for their favorite skins to show up sooner.

Adding to the shiny excitement of more crystal skins, the latest dev blog reveals two new prestige editions slated for release in July. Everyone’s favorite cat, Yuumi, and the Radiant Dawn Leona will receive prestige skins this summer. But it remains to be seen which iteration of their cosmetic will receive the prestige edition.

Following the striking Havenscale and delicate Porcelain skins that graced the League client this February to celebrate the Lunar New Year, fans can eagerly anticipate a cheddarific experience with the next skins coming in April. Riot teases a “cheesy surprise” set to roll out just in time for April Fools skins, a tradition entrenched over the years in League that always promises to bring a humorous twist to cosmetics.

Get ready to witness your champions transform into something extraordinary with the Crystalis Indomitus Mythic skins, and mark your calendars for the upcoming Prestige releases and the playful April Fools surprise later this year.
