Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 25.21. New Battle Pass skins, a hefty Gwen revamp, and changes aimed to lower early game healing.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 8th of October, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics - Trials of Twilight: Act 2 Battle Pass
Act 2 of our third Season of 2025 is debuting next week with three new Battle Pass skins in tow. Unlike in previous Acts, the three skins in the Battle Pass are both entirely unconnected to each other and the overarching theme of the Season, showing that Riot is experimenting with perhaps keeping things more diverse than in, say, Season 1 when all of the skins were Noxus-related.
Beeko Neeko will be available at level 8 of the Pass, Mecha Kingdoms Skarner at level 24, and Prestige Eternal Aspect Zoe can be claimed at level 48. As in the past, the Battle Pass will cost 1650 RP.
