How many skins were released in 2022? Let’s find out.
Skins are primarily cosmetic items that change a character’s or object’s appearance in a game. These are mostly paid additions and have no gameplay advantages. That being said, skins are primarily prevalent in free-to-play games and act as their primary monetization method. So, League being a free-to-play game, has a fair share of skins.
The year 2022 has been a big year for skins in general in League of Legends. We received a plethora of new skin lines, such as the Empyrean, Anime Squad, Porcelain, Winterblessed, etc. Riot also brought back much-requested skin lines like Star Guardian, Space Groove, and Spirit Blossom. We also surpassed the 1300 unique skins mark this year.
That being said, many are curious about how many skins were released in 2022. Today we are here to answer the question.
