It seems Riot has leaked, intentionally or otherwise, a Visual Rework coming to Malphite.
Riot is hard at work trying to roll out all the visual reworks they can in League of Legends. Last year, they announced the ASUs for Lee Sin and Teemo and those will come out soon. While no other ASU or Visual Rework was known, it seems Riot has leaked one in the new Skarner Video.

How Does The New Malphite Look?
In the new Skarner video, the new visuals for Malphite were leaked as shown below. The model looks very much like the one Wild Rift has currently. If you want to see the full video, you can click on this link.
Overall, Malphite here looks a lot cleaner and modern. His rock formations are more pronounced and sharper, thus making him look a lot more menacing. So, his looks are changing quite a fair bit such as his face looks more monster-like, his body is thinner, and he is more spiky.
Hence, League of Legends is finally getting a shared model for both PC and Wild Rift. This is definitely a step up from what Malphite looks like in the past.
When Is The Visual Rework Coming?
When we will get the new visuals for Malphite is unclear. As this was leaked, Riot will possibly give an update in the future as to when Malphite gets his visual changes.
