Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 26.23. Patch 26.23 brings a new batch of Cafe Cuties skins, a Sanctum variant for DJ Sona, and plentiful buffs for mid lane champions.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 4th of November, 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
The most cutieful skin line is getting two new additions in patch 26.23, with Cafe Cuties Neeko and Cafe Cuties Zoe. Both skins are Epic-tiered, costing 1350 RP, and featuring unique sound and visual effects, animations, and a new recall. You can also acquire between one and eight Chroma options for both skins, with each Chroma costing 290 RP, and one being exclusive with the Chroma bundle.
