Publisher and developer Riot Games today announced that League of Legends’ newest top lane tank champion, K’Sante will officially join the MOBA’s sizeable roster of playable characters in early November, when patch 12.21 goes live.
K’Sante and the Prestige Empyrean K’Sante skin, co-designed alongside Lil Nas X, will first make a stop on the PBE, giving players the chance to try out both the champion and the new skins and provide feedback before they hit live servers.
League of Legends K'Sante
Interestingly enough, players won’t have to take the traditional route of purchasing the new skin with real money. Instead, they can permanently unlock it by earning 2,000 Worlds 2022 tokens by simply playing League of Legends or Teamfight Tactics during the Worlds 2022 in-game event.
Of course, looks are only part of what matters in Riot’s MOBA and the developer has also revealed the abilities that K’Sante will use to help his team destroy the enemy Nexus.
