New Season, New Champion, New Game Mode | LoLNOW.gg

Riot is gearing up for the next season of League of Legends, and while it’s not officially confirmed yet, next week’s PBE should kick things off. But if the pattern holds, we’ll likely get news even earlier—possibly through a dev video or teaser this week.

Here’s a full breakdown of what we know so far, what’s leaked, and what might be coming soon, based on community speculation and known data.

🌍 Which Region Will Be the Focus?

As of now, the region for Season 2 is unconfirmed, but the top candidates are:

• Bilgewater
• Demacia
• Ionia

Each has narrative weight and champion rework potential. Given how Season 1 was themed around Noxus, a pivot to something brighter or more mystical would make sense.

---

🎨 Upcoming Visual Updates & Reworks

A rework is highly likely this season, possibly similar to:

• A full ASU (Art & Sustainability Update) for Teemo
• Or a VU (Visual Update) for LeBlanc

These two have been among the most frequently mentioned for updates, with Teemo’s ASU previously teased and LeBlanc’s visuals increasingly outdated compared to her lore relevance.

🛡️ New Champion Incoming – “Knight of the Rose”

Leaks suggest we’ll get a new support champion, rumored to be called the “Knight of the Rose.”

• Expected to fill a support role
• Tied to themes of elegance, order, or possibly Demacia
• Likely to launch mid-season as part of the narrative shift

---

🎮 Game Modes: Swarm Returns + More?

Here’s what we might see:

• Swarm (Enxame) mode returning with a new theme and updated champion pool
• A possible revival of older game modes like Nexus Blitz or Ultimate Spellbook
• A brand-new game mode, as Riot has already confirmed they’re working on one for this season

Expect something fresh that mixes up the gameplay loop—potentially PvE or hybrid PvP/PvE, like previous experiments.

💎 Skin Pass Quality Upgrades

Riot has acknowledged player feedback and plans to improve Event Pass skin quality starting this season.

This likely means:

• Better visual fidelity
• Higher-value Pass-exclusive skins
• Possibly new rewards or progression mechanics

---

⚔️ Gameplay Changes Incoming (Yes, Atakhan Stays)

There will be gameplay system changes this season, similar in scale to how Atakhan was introduced.

• Atakhan will remain in the game
• Changes may affect progression, events, or in-game systems outside of ranked

These updates are expected to be part of the new seasonal gameplay loop, not just limited-time content.

---

🗓️ When Will We See Everything?

Riot tends to spread announcements across multiple days, but a dev update video is expected sometime this week or early next week.

“Rito doesn’t drop everything at once, queen.”

So if you’re waiting for the full roadmap, skins, or champion trailer—you’ll want to stay tuned.

And if Big Bad Bear is right (again), we might even hear from him before Riot. 👀
