this was just a fuckup on the artist's part and they weren't supposed to leak this. (Maybe Faey is indeed one of the upcoming champions and she'll end up being his apprentice after all, to mirror Zed-Kayn and Shen-Akali?)

An upcoming champion is tied to his lore in an intrinsic way.

#Galaxy slayer zed taunt update

We're getting a major lore update for him, and it's so in-depth that Riot felt compelled to show his face in order to make it work (flashback short story/cinematic, something from his own point of view or personal life?).

We're getting a new skin (possibly a legendary) that shows off his face.The fact that they were finally willing to show his face after all of these years - indicates 1 of 4 things (IMO) we're going to see later this year, or next year: Jhin Face study - Concept Art by Wild Blue Studio All the same, i think its freaking AWESOME. Second, I'm not sure I think that reveal is earned within the length of a single graphic novel- unless the focus of the story requires revealing Jhin is human. However first, I think the craftsmanship of the art should be a major consideration before/if a product reveals his face to the audience. That said, personally, I think revealing Jhin's face is something Riot should do eventually. That you don't know exactly what he looks like and that he can blend into a crowd because he is so 'normal' looking is a part of his power and powerfantasy. But ultimately by choosing the camera angles we avoided this completely.Įven ignoring the fact that Jhin is a master of disguise, part of Jhin's threat and theming is as a psychopath. but with his hand partially covering his face or if we had pieces of his mask broken, revealing part of his face underneath. Mostly because we knew we might've shown Jhin partially and briefly unmasked. Created as a reference for the artists (exclusively). A post made by now ex-rioter WAAAARGHbobo who is Jhin's writer claimed that the artists of the comic where given Jhin's face because they had planned to reveal or partially reveal it in the comic, but ultimately didnt get too.Īs for the face, we actually commissioned and have images of Jhin's basic face for the comic. It would make sense a artistic psychopath like him would hate his own face.Įdit/Update: The reveal was indeed a mistake, this art was meant to be posted with his face censored, as the original was deleted and re-upload. Notable in the fact that his mask is asymmetrical in its design, as is his entire attire. For those who arent as observant, Jhin HATES symmetry. AND THAT IS THE POINT! Jhin was always made to be just an un-assuming stage hand, who could easily blend with the crowd and go un-perceived.Īs pointed out by someone on Twitter, its interesting to note he has a perfectly symmetrical face. Long enough for people to get it, and im here to share it now! (Credit to SpiderAxe for sharing it)

Now, the same, FULL RES concept art was posted, briefly, on Wild Blue Studio's art station.

As is typical of new skin releases, Galaxy Slayer Zed won’t have an official release date but will go live sometime during the 9.8 patch cycle.So a couple months ago, when the Zed comic came out by Wild Blue Studio which featured massive reveals (Zed, Shen and Kusho's face), some people posted about the leaked concepts arts for the comic, most notably was the concept art of JHIN's FACE, however, it was censored or covered up. Galaxy Slayer Zed is the assassin’s first legendary skin costing 1,800 RP with its own voiceover. Related – League of Legends Patch 9.8: Full notes and updates With the popularity surrounding last year’s Odyssey mode, however, many fans of the game are crossing their fingers in hopes that Galaxy Slayer Zed will release alongside a second surprise event. In the Odyssey game mode, players chose between Sona, Yasuo, Malphite, Ziggs, or Jinx to take on the evil Kayn as he sought to capture Sona from the Morning Star crew.Ī new Odyssey event could feature Galaxy Slayer Zed as the antagonist this time around, although Riot has yet to give any indication a new Odyssey event is on its way outside of the release of Galaxy Slayer Zed. The Odyssey skin universe released with last year’s Odyssey event, a surprise event featuring six new skins, a new game mode, and event-themed merchandise. The creature exploded and its ora consumed Zed, who survived the explosion but walked away with a maniacal view of the universe, seeking to rid it of weakness. Riot Games released a new lore update today featuring a backstory behind Zed’s upcoming Galaxy Slayer skin as well as an update to the Odyssey skin universe to reflect its latest addition.Īccording to the skins new bio, Zed was raised by the Templar Order before an attack from the Demaxian Empire forced him to kill one of the legendary megafauna.
