Pride Month 2022 in LoL and other Riot games. Free items, missions and more
Thematic content related to the current Pride Month has been added to the games created by Riot.
In 2022, for the seventh time, Riot Games shows support for members and supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community. This year, free content related to Pride Month will be coming to many titles from the studio, including, of course, League of Legends.
Like every year, players will be able to unlock icons related to flags, themed emotes, or other cosmetic accessories. In addition, the creators also published a new short story with Twisted Fate and Graves in the lead role.
Pride Month in League of Legends
It was announced some time ago that in June there will be a lot going on in the studio’s games. From yesterday, fans can enjoy new, free cosmetic content that harks back to the flag colors of the LGBT+ community.
New Pride icons join the roster! You can pick each of these up 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.
Using these icons, players will be able to activate homeguard trails that highlight the diversity of the LGTBQIA+ community.
The homeguard trails will be active until the end of June. While seven are returning from prior Pride festivities, we’ve got a new trail entering the mix that’s as minty fresh as its color palette.
We also have three new emotes, one of which is animated, another of which alludes to love in the cards.
Just by equipping our Pride icons you can alter your League of Legends profile background art with our new Pride art (see top of article). You may be noticing the presence of a certain Bilgewater duo across these emotes and missions—keep an eye peeled for a larger narrative beat for them hitting the deck soon.

League of Legends makers have published a short story featuring Graves and Twisted Fate. The text develops the relationship between the characters. You can read the whole thing here: click.
Legends of Runeterra
Pride is in the cards this year. Over at Legends of Runeterra that means there’s a new card back, Guardian, emote, and icon. The icon is the same for Wild Rift, so check them out in the Wild Rift section!
The cost of Pride—that’s free baby! Pick up the Pride bundle in the store for 0 coins starting June 15th!
Zestaw Równości 2022 będzie dostępny do 20 lipca, więc łapcie go, póki możecie!
Teamfight Tactics
A brand new Pride boom comes to TFT, that alongside our other Pride booms, can be equipped to show your LGBTQIA+ pride, but also your pride in winning each round! Check out our Pride booms: Mint Boom (video below), Rose Quartz Boom, Sapphire Boom, Catseye Boom, Obsidian Boom, Tanzanite Boom, Citrine Boom, Rainbow Boom
The new Pride booms drop in patch 12.10, via a new mission, Tacticians Stand United. It’s a pretty easy mission, simply play 2 games of TFT (standard queues), or play 1 game of Double Up! Just be sure to do so before June 30th!
I’ll use this time to remind you that equipping any of the Pride Icons (shown above in the League of Legends section) will give your Tactician the correlating Pride trail to swoop in on your preferred item from Carousel in style!
Wild Rift:
Taking Pride on the go? Wild Rift is too, via a new emote, a new icon (Aquamarine Poro) and a temporary trail (Rainbow Lane)! And if you missed out on Pride last year—just know that we missed you too, but also know that you can get the 7 Poro Icons from the 2021 Pride event by completing the first of Wild Rift’s two Pride missions.
Equality will appear on mobile devices from June 1 until June 22.
Here are the two missions for this event:
Mission Name | Mission Requirements | Reward |
We Win Together | Play 1 game | 1 New Icon (Aquamarine Poro)
1 Temporary Trail (Rainbow Lane) AND The 7 Icons from Pride 2021 if not already owned |
United We Play |
Play 10 games with either a Pride icon or the homeguard trail equipped
|
Emote selection chest – pick between the Pride 2021 Emote or the Pride 2022 Emote |
Whether you’re rushing to the defense with rainbow homeguards, watching cinematics with mono-Shurima, zipping across the Convergence, or just being a great ally, on behalf of us at Riot Games, have a terrific Pride!
