We’re really excited with the results because it gives us a new (and more sustainable) approach to Ultimate skin development. It was around this time that we made the decision to make Samira an Ultimate skin. We added things like pentakill celebrations (since, you know, Samira), unique art assets, modeling. and more to her skin because we were excited by how perfectly Samira fit into the thematic and at the opportunity that we saw with her skin-similar to how we created Pulsefire Ezreal. But as we got working, we kept adding more and more. So when we got started on Samira we actually aimed to create a Legendary skin. And while we love how these additions have enhanced the champion’s fantasy within Legendary skins, we feel like this may have encroached a bit on Ultimate territory. This decision has led to some cool tech like pentakill celebrations (Empyrean Pyke and Winterblessed Diana, for example) and improving our unique screen overlays (Battle Academia Caitlyn and Star Guardian Kai’Sa). And, for the most part, we feel like we’ve hit that mark. But that wasn’t the case with Samira.Ī few years ago we talked about needing to increase the amount of time we invest in Legendary skins to make sure they give you an experience that lives up to the name. Usually we start out knowing we’re making one. Our definition of what it means to be an Ultimate skin has changed over the years, but “make players feel we’ve done something truly special” and “best-in-class for the champion” are still the two that we’re operating under. Like we’ve mentioned before, Ultimate skins are a tough space to land. And we want to let you know that Samira will be receiving an Ultimate skin as part of this year’s summer event. or even an Ultimate in general-not counting the Spirit Guard Udyr VGU. It’s been a while since we’ve given you an update on Ultimates. But first let’s talk about an upcoming Ultimate skin! Oh and we’ve got some updates on the Star Guardian Skins we’re bringing over from Wild Rift, and the Mythic Shop and the return of the Prestige Skin List. It’s been a while since we last checked in, and we’ve seen a lot of change on our team, so we wanted to let you know what we’re thinking about the state of skins and where we want to take them in the future. Hey everyone! I’m Stephanie “100 pc nuggets” Leung, the new product lead for the skins team.
