Mordekaiser Exalted Skin Teased in Cinematic & In-Client Comic
The first teasers for Exalted Mordekaiser have already surfaced, with his appearance being revealed in an in-client comic. Additionally, Riot Games released a cinematic teaser, showcasing what appears to be three different form variations for the skin:
1️⃣ A more human, warrior-like version – Possibly representing his past as a formidable fighter.
2️⃣ A grand conqueror form – Showcasing Mordekaiser at the peak of his power.
3️⃣ A post-death transformation – Likely a spectral or darker version of his essence after his mortal demise.
These different forms suggest that the Exalted Mordekaiser skin could have a Progression or transformation mechanic, similar to some of the Legendary or Mythic-tier skins in the game.
Exalted Mordekaiser PBE Release & Official Launch Date
📅 PBE Release: The skin will arrive on the League of Legends Public Beta Environment (PBE) on Wednesday.
📅 Official Launch: Players will be able to obtain Exalted Mordekaiser starting March 5, 2024. However, it will only be available via the Sanctuary system, meaning players will need to participate in a gacha-style loot system to unlock it.
The Controversy Around the Sanctuary System
Many players have voiced concerns over Riot Games’ decision to lock high-quality skins behind the Sanctuary system. Unlike direct purchases, this system requires players to spend RP (Riot Points) on randomized pulls, with a guaranteed drop at 80 attempts. This has led to criticism, with some arguing that it artificially inflates the cost of acquiring premium skins.
While the Exalted Mordekaiser skin looks impressive, the price point and gambling-based acquisition method continue to divide the community.
LeBlanc Visual Update Also Coming Soon
In addition to Mordekaiser’s skin, LeBlanc’s long-awaited visual update is expected to be revealed this week. A teaser might drop tomorrow, with her updated look potentially going live alongside the new PBE patch.
With Riot Games focusing on modernizing older champions and expanding the Sanctuary system, the next few patches are shaping up to be significant for League of Legends.
Final Thoughts
Exalted Mordekaiser is shaping up to be one of the most visually stunning skins in the game, with multiple transformations and a deep thematic design. However, the fact that it’s locked behind the Sanctuary gacha system might make it a tough sell for many players.
