Hot on the heels of League of Legends new Jungler Winner Lillia‘s debut in Riot Games’ flagship MOBA, it looks like we have received our first official peek of the future Champ headed its way. Riot’s unleashed a brand name-new animated trailer titled ‘The Route, An Ionian Myth’ – and enthusiasts are really guaranteed it is pointing to the upcoming title headed to LoL, Yone.
“Every fantasy carries a seed of fact. A slain swordsman should decide if he will make peace with his past – or be eaten by it,” the animated short’s description teases. This ties directly into the lore bordering Yone – who so far has just been confined to LoL lore – and his fifty percent-brother Yasuo, one of the very best League of Legends Champions, and Yone’s more youthful 50 percent-brother.
In the clip, provided under, we can see the lone figure awaken in a mystical, forest-like land strongly reminiscent of the LoL Spirit Blossom skins and artwork we have seen emerge lately, before encountering a nightmarish sight. Two sword-wielding warriors combat, then he sees what looks to be a eyesight of a single of their fatalities. His? We may surprise.
He’s taunted by whispers and ominous voices right until his vision – a stone effigy of what would seem to be himself – opens its eyes and claims, “You could have saved them”, as a terrifying, monstrous determine seems and locks into fierce melee fight with the wanderer. Gulp.
The figure that emerges victorious is changed, struck and bitten in the course of the training course of his struggle and seemingly remodeled – potentially not for the improved. He ventures out into the woods as a competition of some variety twinkles far in the length. His masked head turns and the clip cuts to reveal a day tying into the approaching Spirit Blossom celebration: “Cross More than July 22”. Take a glimpse below:
Signals that Yone could be coming to LoL have been popping up for a while. An evident Yone Spirit Blossom skin recently leaked online, and as highlighted in the LoL patch 10.15 notes, some Thresh voice data files have popped up on the PBE, which are variety variants of ‘First Experience 3D Yone Skin’.
At the starting of the 12 months, Riot announced that League of Legends will get two new Champions in major summer time event, a single of which turned out to be Lillia (whose splash artwork also leaked early), and the other, teased as “a masked Winner who refuses to die.”

Yone has not officially been declared as the next LoL Winner as nevertheless, but it is seeking ever more probable that we’ll see Yasuo’s troubled half-brother head to the game, maybe very before long.
