All the news and free items related to Pride Month in LoL and other games
What has appeared in League of Legends, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra to celebrate Pride Month?
June 1 marked the start of Pride Month, a month in which representatives of the LGBTQ+ community proudly speak out about who they are. People who don’t belong to a minority can also show their support – and in games from Riot Games, it’s very easy, as the developers have prepared quite a few cosmetic additions that can be set in LoL or LoR, among others.
Pride Month in games from Riot Games
The developers of League of Legends, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra have summarized the content that will be coming to all games to celebrate this year’s Pride Month. Riot reminded that it has been supporting minorities for many years, so this year could not be any different.
We’re continuing our prideful celebrations for the 8th year in a row with free new content across all Riot games, AND a return of some of our Pride content from past years for those of you who missed it.
League of Legends
Two new Pride Emotes featuring two of our hardest-hitting Champs that’ll help you flex your pride (and skill) whether you get a solo-kill or clear that ward right as it’s placed
FLEX
Light ’em up- ALSO – This is what Coca-Cola’s latest limited edition collection with a League of Legends theme looks like
We’re also bringing back last year’s Pride emotes with the return of Partners in Crime, Accepted, and Pride 2022. Although, I hear Graves is single now (eyes).

And it wouldn’t be a celebration without homeguard trails returning! Change your boring homeguard trails to colorful, prideful homeguard trails by equipping any of the correlated Pengu Icons available for 1 Blue Essence a pop! Check out the list here: Prismatic Pengu Icon, Cotton Candy Pengu Icon, Galactic Pengu Icon, Sunset Pengu Icon, Twilight Pengu Icon, Primary Pengu Icon, Sherbert Pengu Icon, Mint Pengu Icon.

How and When: You can unlock the Pride 2023 emotes through Missions that’ll pop up in your client starting June first! Past Pride Emotes can be purchased for 1 Blue Essence in the store—they’re Essencetially free. You’ll only have till the end of June 22nd to complete these missions, so team up and slay away!
Details Plz: Equipping Pride icons (of past and present) doesn’t just make your homeguard trails more pretty-like, it also alters your League of Legends profile background art with our brand new Pride art (see top of article). As a note, the equipped icon will only modify homeguard trails between June 1st and 30th at 1 PM PST. You’ll see the shiny effects at the start of game on Summoner’s Rift and after 14 minutes when you return to base—and I guess before 20 minutes if you respawn after death, but who does that?
| Mission Name and Availability | Mission Requirements (Matchmade games only) | Reward |
| The Pride of Nazumah | As a Team, slay four Epic Monsters Or Earn points from time spent playing and winning games (750)
| Emote: Flex |
| The Pride of Piltover | Play as a premade group (2 or more) Or Earn points from time spent playing and winning games (750)
| Emote: Light ‘em up |
Legends of Runeterra
We’re swelling with Pride this year. Over at Legends of Runeterra that means there’s a new emote (Nami Pride) rolling in on the tides alongside some returning Pride content: Tyari the Traveler Pride emote, Twisted Fate Pride emote, Poro Pride emote, and 8 Poro Pride Icons. Check out the collection here.
The icon is the same for Wild Rift, so check them out in greater details with the Wild Rift section!
How and When: The Pride bundle hits the store starting June 1st—oh it’s already there!? Well, let the celebrations begin! Pick up the Pride bundle in the store for 0 coins until it leaves June 28th!
Teamfight Tactics
Dip into the Convergence with a brand new Pride emote! Alongside our new Emote, our Pride booms are making a comeback. To be totally transparent, TFT is my main gig, but that doesn’t dim the rainbows of the following Pride booms you can equip: Mint Boom, Rose Quartz Boom, Sapphire Boom, Catseye Boom, Obsidian Boom, Tanzanite Boom, Citrine Boom, Rainbow Boom.
How and When: The new Pride emote is available via the Tacticians Stand United mission that is released alongside patch 13.11. It’s a pretty easy mission (no shade), simply play 2 games of TFT (standard queues), or play 1 game of Double Up! Just be sure to do so before June 30th! Check out the reward below!
Details Plz: As a reminder, equipping any of the Pride Icons (shown above in the League of Legends section) will give your Tactician the correlating Pride trail to swoop around on the Carousel with!
