Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 25.07. Highlights include new April Fools skins, the Yorick Mid-Scope Update, LeBlanc's Visual Update, and more!
These changes appeared on PBE on the 19th of March, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics - April Fools 2025
April Fools is just a day away, and you can celebrate the silliest holiday of the year with some wacky new League of Legends skins. In this year’s lineup, we have two Epic, food-themed skins, Grill Master Braum (1350 RP) and Glizzy Naafiri (1350 RP). Glizzy Naafiri is fresh off the grill with a very recent Gameplay Update and a couple of buffs in this patch, to boot.
Urgot the Clogfather (1350 RP) will join Janitor Thresh on their next shift, and, last but not least, we also have Pool Party Malphite (1350 RP) making a surprise appearance before the summer season has begun. All of the Epic skins come with eight possible Chroma options which would run you 290 apiece.
The star of the show, however, is Shaco, who is receiving their very own Legenday Skin—Cat-in-the-Box Shaco. Shaco has been a thorn in the side since 2009 but this is the Demon Jester’s first (and only) Legendary Skin. Luckily, Riot delivered in terms of theme and quality. Cat-in-the-Box Shaco also comes with six possible Chroma options.
Game Changes
Pengu Joins The Fray
A mild April Fools Event will take place in all Quickplay/Swiftplay queues for the duration of the upcoming patch cycle. This includes cute little pop-ups from minions and a few choice words from Cat-in-the-Box Shaco. Additionally, Garen will look a little different for a couple of weeks…
