According to a tweet sent by the official League of Legends channel, a new charity skin is on the horizon.

Dark Star Cho’Gath

A feedback thread on the PBE forum gives additional information about the skin. Dark Star Cho’Gath will come with a new model and textures, as well as new spell VFX, new SFX, a new recall animation, and new Feast transformations. You will see new color and texture additions upon reaching 4 and 8 stacks on Cho’s ultimate.

Dark Star Cho’Gath was made in partnership with Bryan, a child that the company connected with through the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Dark Star Cho’Gath was built with Bryan as part of The Make-A-Wish Foundation. Bringing Bryan’s vision into League of Legends is a huge honor for us, and we feel that this is a great opportunity to support organizations that make a real impact.

Dark Star Cho’Gath (and any related items) will be available for a limited time, with 100% of the proceeds going to charities around the world during that time.

We’d like to thank Bryan, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, and players for all the support.

This is the first Cho’Gath skin release since June 2015. It will cost 1350 RP and will only be available for a limited time.

Sweeper Rammus and Playmaker Lee Sin

Cho’Gath isn’t the only champion getting some fancy new clothes on the PBE. The upcoming release will also bring soccer-themed skins (or football, depending on where you’re from) for Rammus and Lee Sin. These skins join an already stacked line-up of soccer stars, like Striker Lucian, Goalkeeper Blitzcrank, and Red Card Katarina.
