Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 26.20. Patch 26.20 brings a new batch of HEARTSTEEL skins, new Pass Prestiges, and plentiful champion adjustments.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 23rd of September, 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
HEARTSTEEL released their second single on the 18th of September, and kicked off what is sure to be a very musical season in League of Legends, as both True Damage and K/DA are also returning later on this year. For now the focus is still on the HEARTSTEEL boys, whose new skins, as seen in the Live my Life music video, are coming on Wednesday.
Five of these skins, HEARTSTEEL Live My Life Aphelios, HEARTSTEEL Live My Life Ezreal, HEARTSTEEL Live My Life K'Sante, HEARTSTEEL Live My Life Kayn, and HEARTSTEEL Live My Life Yone are coming straight to the store and are purchasable for 1350 RP, like all other Epic skins. Prestige HEARTSTEEL Live My Life Sett will only be available through the battle pass, which costs 1650 RP.
