What’s up guys it’s me Jeremy.
Riot is pretty much always working on new skins, and at one point there was a rioter
that did say that at any given moment in time, it’s likely that every single champion has
a skin in development for them.
However, Riot typically never releases anything for almost all of these skins, but today we’ve
compiled some of the leaks, the showcases, and the random goofball things to create a
list of 10 skins that could exist in the future.
Some are more likely than others, while we have a couple that I would bet money on for
being released one day.
It was a bit difficult to piece this list together, so a decent number of the skins
don’t have too much information surrounding them, but we’ll make our best guess.
And if you enjoy the video don’t forget to hit that like button, and if you don’t
hit the dislike.
Let’s get started.
Our first skin that we have that could be released in the future is Futuristic Caitlyn.
Now it’s not likely to be under that name if it ever gets released, but a while back
at PAX Australia, Riot showcased some concept arts and sketches for a Caitlyn skin that
was under development.
This skin was shown to have somewhat of a futuristic or robotic characteristic, and
looked like the gun maybe shot lasers or something high tech.
This could potentially allude to like a project Caitlyn, but I’d wager that it’s probably
something else instead, although I do think those sketches look sweet.
Riot Iron Stylus is quoted for saying that this skin is something that they’ve been
wanting to do for a while, and they are working to see if they can get the right solution
for this concept.
Another Rioter described Futuristic Caitlyn as “fully possible if the demand was there”
so this Caitlyn skin shows some promise, and I for one thing that skin is just awesome.
The next skin we have is one of the more likely ones to get released in the future, and it’s
Battlecast Anivia.
The battlecast series of skins is one that has been on for quite sometime now, of this
idea of Viktor creating these upgrades for these champions.
So we get creator Viktor, and a total of 6 battlecast skins that have been currently
released so far.
However, when battlecast Cho’Gath was released, since it was the launch of the battlecast
skin theme, it had this huge event behind it, including like a login screen and some
more sophisticated art pieces.
One of those art pieces that was used as a part of the teaser for battlecast prime cho
gath was this piece of a blueprint for Viktor’s design.
You’ll notice on the left text that says V-BC-CORP which likely stands for Viktor’s
Battlecast Corporation.
And on the top right there is some text that hints at the future battle cast projects.
There is one for XER – Xerath, URG – Urgot, SKA – Skarner, MAW – for Kog’maw, and
one that says ANV, which could only possibly refer to anivia.
This skin teaser was released quite a bit before the other battlecast skins, and since
it proved accurate for all of the others, in that we were given battlecast skins for
Xerath, Urgot, Skarner, and Kog’maw, it’s reasonable to assume that this trend will
continue and we will be given battlecast anivia in the future.
This hint from riot is one that I would view as pretty reasonable in terms of how realistic
it is that it will actually happen, and battlecast anivia could be totally awesome, so I’m
certainly looking forward to that one!
The next skin that could be released in the future, is Dragon Master Swain.
Dragon Master swain started as a fan-made concept that gained an incredible amount of
attention just because the idea was so cool.
There’s a forum post that’s 120 pages long of people saying that this idea of a
swain skin where his bird is a dragon, and during his ultimate he turns into a dragon
is so freaking awesome, and it garnerd a lot of riot attention at the time.
This post is from 2013, and in it Riot Morello confirmed and I quote “We will do this skin
– I’m sure of that” those were his exact words, and the excitement around this skin
was pretty hyped up, however a bit later Rioters confirmed that the skin was shelved, although
they promised to revisit it at a later date.
And then again about 9 months ago on Reddit a Rioter confirmed that they hadn’t forgotten
about this skin and they were trying their best to get It out in 2015, although they
didn’t promise anything.
Well, 2015 went by but it’s clear that riot loves this skin and really wants to make it
work.
As far as I know they are still developing it and trying to make it this super awesome
badass legendary skin that does him justice, and it’s quite likely that we will see in
in 2016, and it’s almost certain that we will see him in the future, it’s just taking
a really long time to develop properly, which means that when it does finally come out,
it’s going to be just that more awesome!
The next skin that has a possibility of being released in the future is Exterminator Twitch.
Riot keeps a lot of random information in their game files, and especially in their
PBE game files, that allude to all sorts of stuff.
And lots of people like to datamine those files and every once in a while, something
pops up.
Exterminator Twitch has a fully developed in game model that was extracted from data
mining the game files.
Exterminator Twitch is a skin that kind of runs with the whole poison theme and takes
that and makes him like a bug or virus exterminator of some kind.
It’s a pretty neat idea and works well with his theme, however, this skin is confirmed
to be shelved, meaning that it is currently on hold and no longer in production.
Shelved definitely does not mean cancelled though, and there is a decent possibility
that this skin gets revived and revamped in the future and released as a skin for twitch.
Another skin that could exist in the future is Pizza Delivery Sivir.
This skin started as kind of a fan art concept from CLG’s Mattcom, but the fan art piece
garnered such a large amount of attention that Riot began working on developing their
own version for the skin.
Riot showcased some of their sketches and model concepts for this skin at Pax Prime
a while back, and it seemed to be a popular idea for a skin.
However, it did look like it still need a lot of work, it wasn’t concepts that they
had on hand that they published, and the Rioters on the panel described the skin as something
that they weren’t sure about, but could definitely make a reality if the fans were
interested in it, in which case they would take it back to the office, improve a bit
on it, and then hopefully find a place for it in the game.
Pizza delivery sivir is a pretty hilarious idea for a skin, and riot doesn’t make that
many funny skins compared to ones that are cool and badass, but they do still make them,
and a sivir throwing pizzas at people for her auto attack is hilariously awesome, and
I would absolutely love to see this skin come to life.
Our next skin is Disco Sona.
This is a little bit of a weird one, well the skin is not weird but the information
we have certainly is.
One of the game files that exists revolving skins is what’s called a texture, and it’s
essentially a 2d version of the 3d model of the skil that contains everything that the
skin’s model would.
All skins that exist in League of legends have a texture file to go with them, and Disco
Sona has had one of those very tecture files extracted from the game files.
From this texture it looks like she’s got this pink poka dot dress, as well as what
looks like maybe a wooden keyboard for her crescendo and a blue and yellow disco ball.
Disco sona seems like a reasonable concept for a sona skin, and these kinds of texture
files, although they don’t say much about if the skin will be released or not, it does
show proof that the skin has had some level of development too them.
Maybe they get shelved, or cancelled, but maybe they get revamped, tuned up a bit and
released, and Disco Sona is one of those skins that shows potential.
The next skin that we have is Arm Cannon Tristana.
This one’s a bit goofy, as it’s another skin similar to Exterminator Twitch that has
had it’s in game model discovered in the game files.
A while back the files were extracted, and our man Declan from skin spotlights was actually
able to make a video of him using the skin just kind of running around like a little
goofball.
There are no animations showcased, but you can see the model in full.
Trista has kind of like this space suit and would shoot her bullets from her arm instead
of from an actual weapon.
Although this skin is likely to have been shelved since the video is kind of old, I
wouldn’t be surprised to see it revive in the future with a revamped design, and this
kind of idea would work great for something like a pulsefire Tristana or maybe like a
project tristana.
And just because it’s an old model, doesn’t mean it won’t be released later on, there
are loads of skins that come out that were in development for years before finally being
launched, sometimes the ideas just require more development or experience delays, and
arm cannon tristana could be one of those skins.
Another skin that could be released potentially is Queen Sejuani.
This is a skin that emerged in the PBE when Sejuani was given her visual relaunch.
We can see the full model available, and in this skin it looks like her boar is actually
like a wolf kinda thing, and her flail uses what looks like the blade of an axe.
It’s a pretty interesting skin that maybe has some potential.
The model was extracted from the game files, and there was an official riot comment on
it.
Although they confirmed that this originally was a skin intended for Sejuani, it instead
became the concept that they went off of to give her the look that eventually became her
full relaunch.
So as of right now this is the only skin on this entire list that has pretty much been
confirmed to be cancelled.
However, it had a large degree of development surrounding it, and it’s not unlikely that
this concept for a sejuani skin of her riding on a wolf is revisted in the future sejuani
skins.
We’ve seen sejuani riding a boar, and then a bear, and even a poro, and a wolf would
be sweet, and I see this skin as having enough potential to be revisited in the future.
Our next skin is Russian Knight Olaf.
This is another one that’s a bit weird because it’s another skin that has the texture file
similar to what Disco Sona had.
This texture file for Russian Knight Olaf was extracted from the game files, and it
depicts him having this kind of like a Viking style armor almost.
Olaf as a character is a Viking already, but this outfit is a lot more like a traditional
Viking depection or I guess a bit of a Russian take on the Viking character, hence Russian
knight olaf.
That shield definitely looks pretty sweet with the whole beast kinda thing its got going
on.
However, despite this promising piece extracted from the game files, Russian Knight Olaf is
confirmd to be shelved.
That doesn’t mean that he’s been cancelled, and he could be revisted later in the future,
he certainly isn’t in development right now.
It’s a cool concept, but I do think it shows a bit less potential than some of the other
skins on this list, so I’m not entirely optimistic, but again it’s definitely not
impossible that this does get released.
And another skin that could be released in the future is Special Forces Miss Fortune.
This skin has had a little bit of information extracted from the game files to show that
the files exist.
However, I don’t have the exact files to show you, but another thing surrounding special
forces miss fortune is that she appears in the background as a silhouette in the special
forces gangplank skin.
A lot of skins have characters in the background as like a teaser kind of thing, and quite
often a lot of those characters that show up result in a future skin.
Special forces miss fortune could possibly be that, we have the silhouette from the gangplank
skin, and there’s also some info from datamining the game files, and the two of those together
make me pretty optimistic about this skin potentially coming to life one day.
And that just about wraps up the list!
Which one of these skins would you like to see come to the game?
