Viktor Visual and Gameplay Update - Patch 14.24

By: Published:

Viktor's Visual and Gameplay Update is coming in Patch 14.24 this upcoming Wednesday! Read on to check out what all is new Herald of the Arcane.

Riot had hinted that a champion from Season 2 of Arcane would be getting a Visual and Gameplay Update (VGU) at the end of the 2024 year. If you were one of the players who guessed it would be Viktor - you were right! When Season 1 of Arcane came out, Caitlyn received a visual update to better align her to the version we watched and loved in the TV show. Now, Viktor is getting the same treatment!

The VGU will be focusing on improving Viktor’s visuals, audio, and backstory. His backstory already has quite a few similarities to the version we saw in Arcane, but - no spoilers - there were definitely some major diversions, especially when it comes to the design. Whether you are a fan of Viktor’s design in Arcane or not, Viktor was released way back in 2011 and his model has definitely been begging for an update. In the SkinSpotlights video below, you’ll be able to directly compare Viktor’s initial 2011 model and the updated Arcane version:

In addition to the updated model, Viktor will be getting a completely new voice-over with many references to his updated, more Arcane friendly, lore. His voice actor remains Owen Thomas, who has voiced Viktor since 2011. You can listen to Viktor’s new voices line in the video below:

Gameplay Changes

Viktor mains need not worry, as Viktor will not be getting significant changes to his kit, with the exception of his ultimate, Chaos Storm - now Arcane Storm - which is now deadlier and encompasses a larger area.
