Winter is sneaking back onto Summoner’s Rift. The second part of the Trials of Twilight season is about to be revealed, and ahead of the expected dev blog on October 6 we have early leaks that point to a full Winter Rift return for 2025. If you love the League of Legends winter map, poros, and Winterblessed vibes, this one is for you.
What the leak shows
A poro with a scarf appears at the blue side base, a classic Winter Rift touch that usually signals a full holiday makeover. Several images push the camera toward mid lane, where markings tied to the Poro King can be seen near the center. One shot also shows a large unknown creature, white in color with dark pants and big white hair. The community is split on whether it is a new set piece, an event boss, or just festive set dressing.
How it ties to Trials of Twilight act 2
Act 2 is the final beat of the 2025 season with a new battle pass, skins, and likely a new champion moment. A Winter Rift 2025 refresh would fit cleanly into that timeline, especially if Riot wants to roll seasonal visuals alongside drops and missions. This also lines up with Winterblessed returning during this act, which has been rumored to include a Mel prestige skin, adding more holiday weight to the patch window.
Will Winter Rift last the whole act
That part is unclear. The leak does not confirm if Winter Rift is on from day one of act 2 or arriving mid cycle as a festive update. Riot has alternated between full act coverage and shorter feature windows in past years, so both approaches are possible this time.
Winter Rift 2025, Winterblessed, and a Poro King nod is a hard combo to beat for seasonal events. If the poro scarf, icy props, and mid lane markings are any indication, we are looking at a cozy refresh that brings back the classic holiday feel while leaving room for Trials of Twilight storytelling.
