Lunar Revel 2023 event in LoL. What can players expect?
Lunar Revel 2023 in League of Legends. What skins can players look forward to?
Riot Games cares about its Chinese players, and probably everyone knows this very well. It’s a huge community that the developers don’t want to lose. Not to mention the fact that Chinese giant Tencent owns 100% of Riot.
So events celebrating the country’s traditional events are being created and one of them is the Lunar Revel. Here the theme is the new year and the animals that accompany it. So what can be expected this year?
2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit
Since 2012, the following year, when Tencent bought out 93% of Riot Games (the last 7% a few years later), League of Legends servers have regularly featured a “Lunar Revel” event. The skins released as part of this relate to the Chinese New Year theme.
For example, 2018 was the “Year of the Dog,” and skins from the “Moon Ranger” series were given to Lux, Nasus, and Warwick. Although you can see the reference after the last two characters, it is worth noting the appearance of the skins themselves:
Similar interesting tidbits are found in skins released for the occasion each year. In 2022 there was a “Year of the Tiger” in China, and the big feline was also incorporated into the graphics:
In 2023, China will celebrate the “Year of the Rabbit.” For this reason, players can look forward to cosmetic additions, i.e. skins, wards, icons and more, just with rabbits in the lead role. The event should take place, suggesting predecessors, already in January and will end in early February. At this point there is no official information on the series of skins and the heroes selected for it.
