Riot reveals new skins for the Pentakill members, including Viego

The legendary virtual metal band Pentakill makes a thunderous comeback with their third studio album, bringing an electrifying collection of new skins to League of Legends. This musical expansion introduces Viego as the newest band member while updating the original lineup with refreshed heavy metal aesthetics that perfectly complement the new tracks.

With ‘Lost Chapter’ scheduled to drop on September 8, Riot Games synchronizes the album launch with a complete skin series overhaul. The updated roster includes founding members Karthus, Olaf, Kayle, Yorick, Mordekaiser, and Sona, all receiving modernized Pentakill cosmetics. Viego’s inclusion marks his debut in the band’s lineup, transforming the Ruined King into a formidable metal guitarist with his signature blade reimagined as a fiery instrument.

Riot Games unveiled the complete Pentakill skin collection through the UK and Nordic League of Legends Twitter accounts, providing comprehensive previews of splash arts and in-game models. The announcement generated immediate excitement among the LoL community, showcasing the band’s evolution while maintaining their core heavy metal identity.

The design philosophy embraces classic metal aesthetics with amplified visual elements: roaring flames, dark leather and metal attire, and the signature weapon-instrument fusion that defines the Pentakill universe. Each champion’s kit undergoes a musical transformation, turning deadly implements into performance equipment that resonates with the album’s powerful soundtrack.

Beyond the striking visual overhaul, every skin incorporates brand-new ability effects and distinctive recall animations that reflect each champion’s musical role. Viego’s skin particularly stands out, presenting the fallen monarch in a sleek red and white color scheme with his massive sword morphing into a blazing guitar during animations.

Pentakill Viego

Viego’s inaugural Pentakill skin reimagines the Ruined King as the band’s lead guitarist. His blade transforms into a custom electric guitar that erupts with spectral flames during ability casts. The red and white color palette contrasts beautifully with his dark thematic origins, creating a visually striking addition to the skin line.

Pentakill Yorick, Olaf, and Kayle

The original members receive significant visual upgrades that maintain their established roles while incorporating modern graphical improvements. Yorick’s grave-digging shovel becomes a massive bass guitar, Olaf’s axes transform into drumsticks striking ethereal cymbals, and Kayle’s sword channels divine metal energy through its blade.

Pentakill Mordekaiser, Karthus, and Sona

Mordekaiser’s nightfall mace functions as both weapon and microphone stand, Karthus maintains his position as vocalist with enhanced visual effects during his ultimate, and Sona’s etwahl becomes a full keyboard setup with dynamic lighting effects that pulse with her ability rhythms.

The new Pentakill cosmetic collection will first become available on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) for extensive testing and community feedback. Following the testing phase, the skins officially launch on live servers concurrent with patch 11.18, scheduled for deployment on Thursday, September 9.

Strategic timing aligns the skin release with the album launch, creating a cohesive cross-media experience. The day before the patch deployment, on September 8, ‘Lost Chapter’ becomes accessible worldwide through major music streaming platforms, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the complete Pentakill universe.
