Lore

Here's Viego's in-client bio:

"Once ruler of a long-lost kingdom, Viego perished over a thousand years ago when his attempt to bring his wife back from the dead triggered the magical catastrophe known as the Ruination. Transformed into a powerful, unliving wraith tortured by an obsessive longing for his centuries-dead queen, Viego now stands as the Ruined King, controlling the deadly Harrowings as he scours Runeterra for anything that might one day restore her, and destroying all in his path as the Black Mist pours endlessly from his cruel, broken heart.

Check out his full bio on his champion page!

Voiceover

Check out Viego's full voiceover:

Choose VO: "Love ruins all."

Release Skin

Viego's release skin is Lunar Beast Viego:

Lunar Beast Viego

"Former leader of a past Lunar Ox Squad, Viego decided that they would fight the Lunar Beast and actually defeat it. His plan ended in tragedy as he watched the rest of his squad be devoured-- including his wife. Viego has stewed in bitterness over these losses for years, blaming everyone but himself -- including this year's Lunar Ox Squad."

Champion Skins

Seven skins are now on the PBE for testing!

Ruined Draven

1350 RP

"A showman no matter the circumstance, Draven challenged Viego to a duel that the Glorious Executioner immediately lost, resulting in his ruination.

Teamfight Tactics Fates II: Festival of Beasts PBE Testing

The mid set update for TFT Fates, Festival of Beasts, is now on the PBE for testing! For a full rundown of the changes, including new and removed traits and champions, as well as more details on the pass, new Little Legends, arenas and more, check out these articles!

Riot Mort added:

[1] Finally, let's talk PBE! A thread of information.

First, as we do with the launch of any new set, we'll do PBE notes to keep changes noted. You can find them published on the Official TFT Discord here: https://t.co/LwWZZ1JlZX

Each time there is a new build, new notes!

[2] Setting expectations. It's PBE, not live. We still have work to do to polish the set before launch. There will be bugs. It won't be balanced. Please give us your feedback on these as that's the point of PBE, to get this awesome stuff ready for Live on January 21st!

[3] FAQ:

When will PBE go live? When it's ready. We won't give an exact time, but I'll tweet when it's live.

How can I play on PBE? Anyone can make an account now. It's a separate account though, so go make one!

PBE is down, when will it be back up? When it's ready.

[4] Have fun, and from all of us on the TFT team, thanks for enjoying and we hope you have a blast with all the new things to test out and play with!

Here's Riot Mort with the 1/14 changelist from the TFT discord:

"We did it! We made it to the final PBE patch. This marks the end of the expected changes before we go live, so enjoy the game with no more changes for now. We reserve the right to change anything next week right before patch, but the plan is not to unless something major comes up. Thank you all for the feedback and testing! Until next set 3 months from now, enjoy TFT!

New Assets

Little Legends:

Dumpling Sprite

"Filled with savory pork and flavorful shrimp, this little Dumpling Sprite is sure to be at your table this New Year. Wait, you thought they're for eating? No! Are you insane?"

Porcelain Bellswayer

"Made from the finest porcelain, this ceramic heirloom proudly displays their beautiful craftsmanship for all to regard. If you're lucky enough to win their favor, they brew you a cup of their magical tea."

Lunar Beast Choncc

"Choncc's love of tánghülu (糖葫芦) is matched only by his enjoyment of the hologram lion dances that parade the crowded streets of Lunar City during the Festival of Beasts."

Lunar Revel Choncc

"Lunar Revel Choncc is best known for stealing Shisa's ancient recipe for dumplings. Those who can get their hands on one are treated to a wonderful morsel of deliciousness."

Lunar Beast Furyhorn

"A beast on the dance floor, this Furyhorn's moves are some of the best in Lunar City. Unfortunately for the guests around them, tearing up the floor means tearing up the floor... literally."

Lunar Revel Furyhorn

"People think this little Furyhorn is a menace, but they're just misunderstood. All they want is to join in on the festivities and celebrate the New Year, but they're scared off by firecrackers and bright red lanterns."

Lunar Beast Shisa

"The slickest magical monkey around, Shisa is only afraid of one thing: a bad hair day."

Lunar Revel Shisa

"Shisa's been a part of the Lunar New Year celebration longer than anyone can remember. Part trickster, part warrior, this little monkey king is the cleverest of the bunch!"
