Riot Games, developer of League of Legends, has teased PROJECT: Bastion, the next chapter in its fan-favorite PROJECT in-game alternate universe. The game first introduced the futuristic skin line back in 2015 with the PROJECT Yasuo skin. Since then, Riot Games has periodically released more skins under the series while also continuing to build the lore and story within the PROJECT universe which now encompasses two different skin lines, the general PROJECT series and the Program line.
Riot Games has also been very busy working on building the main lore of League of Legends even further, with the recent release of the trailer for its upcoming animated series on Netflix. League of Legends: Arcane, which is set to release sometime in the Fall of 2021, looks like it will feature CG animation and retell the origins of some of its characters, namely Vi and Jinx. The series was originally announced during the game’s 10th anniversary event and was scheduled for a 2020 release but was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As for PROJECT: Bastion, Riot Games announced some of the content players can look forward to when the event launches on May 27. First and foremost, seven new skins will be made available for Mordekaiser, Renekton, Sylas, Sejuani, Senna, and Varus. Notably, Mordekaiser and Renekton will be receiving Legendary skins while Sylas will also be getting a Prestige Edition of his PROJECT skin, in addition to his normal PROJECT skin. Another unannounced Prestige Edition skin has also been teased for a release later, which will arrive before the event's end on June 28.
Some of the other content that is set to release when PROJECT: Bastion launches include the return of Nexus Blitz, which will be the event’s featured game mode, as well as new borders, loot, icons, and emotes that will be attainable through the PROJECT event pass. Riot Games released a short teaser trailer for the upcoming event that shows a glimpse of PROJECT Mordekaiser. The studio also teased a bit of the story that PROJECT: Bastion will be introducing, saying that “the battling factions players have met in the past must now band together against a new threat activated by the mysterious PROGRAM virus.”
The PROJECT line of skins are the favorite of many of the game’s fans because of their cool and sleek designs. Adding more characters to be featured in the skin line, whether as part of the general PROJECT or the Program line, has given League of Legends players new reasons to be excited for the event's return.
