HEARTSTEEL could finally be making its long-awaited return to League of Legends, with a new leak suggesting that Riot Games is preparing another round of skins for the virtual boy band during Season 3 of 2026.
According to images circulating online, the upcoming HEARTSTEEL 2026 collection will apparently feature all six original members: Ezreal, Kayn, Sett, K’Sante, Yone, and Aphelios. Similar information previously surfaced through leaked merchandise and promotional material.
In brief:
- New HEARTSTEEL skins are reportedly planned for League of Legends Season 3 2026.
- Ezreal, Kayn, Sett, K’Sante, Yone, and Aphelios are all expected to receive new looks.
- Leaked renders appear to show completely redesigned outfits for several members.
- Riot Games has not officially announced the HEARTSTEEL 2026 skins yet.
All Leaked HEARTSTEEL 2026 Skins
If the leak is accurate, Riot is sticking with HEARTSTEEL’s original lineup rather than introducing new champions to the band.
The reportedly returning champions are:
- HEARTSTEEL Ezreal
- HEARTSTEEL Kayn
- HEARTSTEEL Sett
- HEARTSTEEL K’Sante
- HEARTSTEEL Yone
- HEARTSTEEL Aphelios
The leaked material offers an early glimpse at noticeably different outfits compared to their original appearances. Sett and Ezreal retain some familiar elements from their HEARTSTEEL identities, while Kayn, K’Sante, Yone, and Aphelios also appear set to receive updated fashion built around the band’s modern pop and streetwear aesthetic.
HEARTSTEEL First Arrived in League of Legends in 2023
HEARTSTEEL originally debuted in 2023 as Riot Games’ League of Legends boy band consisting of the same six champions. The group launched alongside its first single, PARANOIA, featuring BAEKHYUN, tobi lou, ØZI, and Cal Scruby. Riot officially released the accompanying music video on October 23, 2023.
The original HEARTSTEEL skins then arrived with Patch 13.22 on November 8, 2023. Kayn, K’Sante, Ezreal, Sett, Aphelios, and Yone all received skins, while Yone additionally received a Prestige version.
HEARTSTEEL Could Return During League Season 3 2026
The timing of the leak is particularly interesting because League of Legends Season 3 is already underway, having started with Patch 26.15 in late July.
Separate leaks have also pointed toward new K/DA FIRESTARTER skins for Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa, raising the possibility that Riot is planning a larger music-focused event later in the season.
As of writing, however, the HEARTSTEEL 2026 skins remain unconfirmed leaks. Riot Games has yet to reveal their release date, pricing, skin tiers, splash art, or whether the band’s return will be accompanied by another song.
