The League of Legends animated series Arcane has officially ended with Season 2. On November 23 the final three episodes of the series arrived and with it came the end of the three-year journey known as Arcane.
To celebrate the return of Arcane Riot is releasing a bunch of Arcane-themed events and cosmetics to League of Legends. Starting with the cosmetics, Riot is releasing Arcane-themed skins for popular characters such as Vi, Singed, Jayce, and Caitlyn. Additionally, Jinx is getting a new tier of skin called Exalted Skin in celebration.
Riot also introduced a new ARAM map, Bridge of Progress, which was directly inspired by Arcane. A client-based minigame called Jinx Fixes Everything was also added to the game.

Viktor Rework Model Leaked
A couple of weeks ago Riot updated the League of Legends PBE (Public Beta Environment) server with a ton of stuff related to Arcane. They added the new Arcane skins, Events, and more.
Among these was an Icon that resembled Viktor. It looked quite different from the Viktor we have in League of Legends. It was originally thought to be a new skin, however, after some digging some data miners found out it Viktor was getting a VGU.
Since then not much was revealed about this rework, until now. In a recent leak, we finally got a glimpse of what the upcoming Viktor rework was going to look like.
Looking at the leaked image the upcoming Viktor rework looks very similar to the Arcane Season 2 Viktor. He looks a lot less mechanical compared to the current version. In addition to the visual changes, there seem to be some changes to his abilities as well.
Most of his abilities will remain quite similar to the current version however, leaks suggest that his ultimate ability Chaos Storm will be receiving some major changes. The ability is said to evolve as the game progresses, growing in size.
Moreover, his skins will also be reworked to suit his new looks. Here’s a look at what the Death Sworn Viktor skin will look like with the upcoming rework.
As for the release date for the rework, it has not been confirmed but it will likely be released on the last patch of 2024, Patch 14.24, which goes live on Wednesday, Dec 11, 2024.
