New Splash Art

A shared splash art for the upcoming  Sashimi Akali, Barbecue Leona, Baker Pantheon, and Butcher Olaf skins has been added in today's update!

   

Check out our 6.18 PBE cycle coverage for in-game previews of these four upcoming skins.

Mysterious Voice Teaser

[We are currently UNCERTAIN if these are hooked up correctly in-game. Will confirm when possible!]

A mysterious voice has been discovered on the PBE, including both music and several lines that reference jungle camps - Gromp, Blue Buff, and Krugs.

Here's a video of the different lines with the music in the background:

For convenience, here are the VO lines:

• "Poor Gromp. He was a prince amongst toads. "
• "You will be missed old friend, warts and all. "
• "Goodbye Gromp, or as you would say, ribbit. "
• "Hop to that lilypad in the sky, old friend. "
• "Wait 'til you see Daisy's dance moves! 
• "Everyone wins in a dance off."
• "Next time, more petting and less stabbing. "
• "A tragic end for such a noble friend."
• "Can I cut in? Yes? No. I'll- I'll come back later. "
• "Why kill when you can simply ask?"
• "What a shame, he could've been a mountain. "
• "How can anyone kill someone as cuddly as Krugs?"
• "Farewell Krugs, I shall miss our long talks."

Here is the VO in various non-English languages:

• Brazilian Portuguese
• Czech
• French
• German
• Greek
• Hungarian
• Italian
• Korean
• Latin American Spanish
• Polish
• Romanian
• Russian
• Spanish
• Turkish

These were all added in the MISC_Attachments_SFX_audio.bnk and MISC_Attachments_SFX_evvevnts.bnk files. There are also new several new files that start with "EE", these presumably the triggers for how to trigger the lines for Blue, Gromp, Krug, and jungle camps - including Killing camps and Dancing with blue.

SPECULATION: This seems to be in line with our usual sort of in-game teasers for new champions.
