Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 26.6. Highlights include Shyvana's VGU and three skins in a new theme: Warhound.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 4th of March, 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
Warhound
A brand new theme is being added next week, with Naafiri, Senna, and Warwick getting the honour of being its first installments. The new Warhound skins are sleek, black and magenta, and evoke a sort of futuristic biker vibe. Each skin comes with eight Chroma options, at 290 RP apiece, with the Ruby Chromas being exclusive to the Chroma bundles.
Warhound Naafiri
1350 RP

Shyvana Relaunch
The long-awaited Shyvana relaunch will be hitting the live servers next week, but so far the reception on PBE has been fairly lacklustre. After years of underperforming, fans were expecting a Visual and Gameplay update (VGU) and got something closer to an Art and Sustainability Update (ASU). While her abilities have been updated a bit, notably her W, previously called Burnout and now called Inferno Aegis, the extent of the changes might not satisfy every (would-be) Shyvana enthusiast.
