LoL BoyBand skins champion lineup leaked
The full lineup for the LoL BoyBand skin line has been revealed by recent leaks and the champions included in the list are:
- Kayn (Legendary)
- Yone (+ Prestige)
- Ezreal
- Sett
- K'Sante
- Aphelios
It has additionally even claimed that K'Sante and Aphel won't be moving to WR because they don't exist there, but First 4 + Prestige will.
Yone will receive his Prestige skin, while Kayn will receive the Legendary one. Aside from K'Sante and Sett, the list is rather conventional. Thus, this skin series will include 7 skins.
It is possible that Riot Games Music will release one or more songs with the upcoming LoL Boyand skins. Moreover, now that Riot Games Music is hinting at that as well, it is even more likely that some music will accompany the skinline.
We anticipate this skin to appear in Patch 13.22 because this skin line includes a Prestige skin. On November 8, 2023, these skins will be made available as part of the Worlds 2023 Event Pass.

League of Legends Boyband skins
Rumors began circulating recently, hinting at the debut of a boyband for the Worlds 2023 event in the League of Legends universe. This speculation was initially leaked in the context of Wild Rift, adding credence to the notion.
While New Jeans has already been confirmed to perform "GODS" as the Worlds 2023 anthem, Riot Games is unlikely to limit itself to a singular musical offering. Notably, popular K-pop group Ateez had previously hinted at a collaboration with Riot Games. Furthermore, Wild Rift leaks unveiled upcoming skins for Yone and Ezreal.
Adding to the intrigue, a prominent League of Legends leaker on Twitter, @LeagueOfLeaks, asserted that the boyband and its associated skinline are slated for release just in time for the Worlds 2023 finals.
League of Legends Boyband Champion skins
Riot Games' inclination towards launching a K-pop boyband during Worlds 2023 aligns seamlessly with the tournament's location in Korea, where K-pop culture holds substantial cultural significance. Last year, Riot Games introduced a new song to complement the Empyrean skin line, coinciding with the finals. Therefore, a repeat performance seems highly plausible, promising to elevate the grandeur of the opening ceremony.
According to @LeagueOfLeaks, the anticipated League of Legends Boyband will be accompanied by its dedicated skin line, set to be introduced in patch 13.22. This champion to be getting League of Legends Boyband skins are:
- Ezreal
- Yone
- Kayn
- Sett

However, it's important to remember that these details remain in the realm of speculation.
League of Legends Boyband Skins Release Date
With Patch 13.21 on the horizon, no skins have been officially announced, excluding the delayed Coven Syndra skin. The introduction of Nexus Blitz in the same patch raises intriguing possibilities regarding the nature of the League of Legends Boyband skin line and its potential connection to the game mode.
LoL Patch 13.21 is slated for release on October 25, 2023, and the LoLBoyband skins are rumored to be coming in the LoL 13.22 patch along with the famous Worlds 2023 event.
This implies the next Worlds skin, "Boyband" will be released on November 8 on official servers in Patch 13.22 and on October 24 on the PBE servers.
The speculation originated from Wild Rift, where the boyband skin line is reportedly slated for release. This exciting development is also expected to find its way into the PC version of League of Legends. While the leak provides intriguing insights, it's crucial to bear in mind that the information remains subject to potential alterations. Riot Games has undoubtedly set the stage for an imminent boyband-inspired addition to the game.
The question of whether a music video will accompany the skin release looms large, considering the precedent set by previous music group collaborations.
