Legends of Runeterra’s upcoming 2.8.0 patch is bringing the game’s next event, Dark Horizon. The upcoming occasion draws inspiration from the Dark Star and Cosmic skin lines from League of Legends. The Dark Horizon event also mirrors Shurima’s launch in Empires of the Ascended with a full-fledged event pass.
Aside from usual conventions, Dark Horizon adds two features never before done in LoR: champion skins and Mega Guardians. For the skins, the four introduced with Dark Horizon are exclusive to LoR and are split into two separate tiers of cosmetics. Champion skins in LoR are either exclusive card art alters (Riven and Shyvana), or have unique level-up animations in addition to card illustration changes (Yasuo and Zed).
Here’s every new cosmetic coming with Patch 2.8.0’s newest event, Dark Horizon.
