WARNING: PBE content is tentative and iterative - what you see may not reflect what eventually gets pushed to live servers! Manage your expectations accordingly.

New Splash Art
Up first in today's PBE update, we got to see Captain Fortune's new splash, as well as a flipped splash for Rogue Admiral Garen.
Captain Fortune
Rogue Admiral Garen
Now uses a mirrored version of the shared splash with Sea Hunter Aatrox & Corsair Quinn.
Black Market Brawlers
Black Market Brawlers, our newest featured game mode, is now available for testing!
This new mode is draft with each team having three bans and is played on Summoner's Rift. It also uses the new Bilgewater announcer pack!
Essentially, you perform mini-quests (listed in tooltip below) to acquire "Krakens" and then use that currency to purchase and upgrade a special brawler minion that spawns with each minion wave.
Razorfin
Ironback
Plundercrab
Ocklepod
Over the course of the game you will have the opportunity to purchase additional upgrades for your brawler minion further improving its abilities and stats.
It is worth noting that upgrades go into effect on the next minion wave after the purchase and do not apply to already spawned and active brawler minions.
Another aspect is the Black Market where you'll find a slew of deadly new items! A note from yesterday's announcement - Morellonomicon is not available in this game mode so don't go looking for it.
Click on a thumbnail above to enlarge the screenshots and remember, you can easily flick through them using the arrow keys!
There is also a special boot enchantment that can be purchased for any set of tier 2 boots:
