Riot Games has revealed that it is working on new skins for League of Legends champions Cassiopeia, Viktor, Yorick, and Illaoi.

Detailed on the Riot Games website Nexus, product manager Anna “SuperCakes” Donlan wrote, “I feel like we’re tackling some major pain points this year and feel confident committing to you that you will be receiving skins for Cassiopeia, Viktor, Yorick, Illaoi (and more) over the next 12 months.”

She also said, “We know there are others you would add to that list; they are likely on our list as well.”

These champions are long overdue for a new skin; Cassiopeia’s last addition, Jade Fang, was released back in 2012, Viktor’s Creator skin in 2013, Yorick’s when he was released in 2011, and Illaoi’s when she was released in 2015.

The post also touches upon other skin-related topics, such as offering insights into the development of the divisive Pug’Maw skin, and the launch skins for the recently-released Xayah and Rakan.

Donlan also said that the team was looking to expand upon themed skin sets in the same vein as PROJECT: and Star Guardian.

Riot Games launched the Patch 7.9 update just yesterday. The update made changes to how some AD Carry items function and tweaked tank champions.
