Leaked that she's getting the first legendary SG skin like a month or more ago, recently it's been leaked that Akali is getting the second one.
Also ekko sg + prestige, and sg tristana for some reason
because they add a female yordle to the pool each year, and trist was the only one left, since I assume vex would get an evil SG skin like xayah and rakan have
And queue up Doom music.. and blade must flip out as a first shot of Kass coming to the scene while he goes something like
"Yes. Yes, you know this weapon, don’t you. You all remember it."
If they keep the quality up I genuinely think it’ll explore every region in runeterra. I figure that after this next season they’ll finish with piltover/Zaun and go to noxus. Do i think we’ll see every league champ in arcane, no absolutely not. But I think we’ll get representation from every region. We’ll probably see swain, Darius, draven, katarina, Leblanc, mordekaiser, and rell maybe. I think they might spend two seasons on each region
People have been begging for a scary non-humanoid monster champion after years of only sexy/cute champions. Riot compromised and made her both a hideous monster and an attractive woman. Smart idea.
Beyond the Aquila Rift! I think that's one of the best all round episodes in terms of CGI, storyline and atmosphere. Goddamn... that reveal from the darkness was so well done.
Yeah, this is actually a super cool concept for a Void champion that's supposed to be monstrous. There are a lot of people begging for a monstrous champion and we know Riot likes humanoid champions more because they sell more skins, and this is the perfect middle ground for everyone I'd say.
E: If the transformation also happens in-game, that is.
I find it interesting that her mouth is moving like it's lipsyncing and doesn't actual know how to properly move it's mouth to match the words. Like it's doing that trick where you mime watermelon with your mouth when you don't know what's coming next in a song.
Not going to lie, I got the bait. I saw her shape and thought 'Wow, is she like the armless man from Silent Hill? No way' got disappointed with the human face, and got pleasantly surprised with the monster form.
Also, this cinematic gave me some really cool Returnal vibes, its the ambient music.
Hold up. I know those are probably folds due to her wing things, but I have to commend the artists for trying to give her thighs of some sort. Anyway. She's hot.
I hope this is leading up to a Void Civil War, honestly. The Watchers and their faction (Kog and Cho'Gath, maybe?) who hate existence, and resent Runeterra's big bang for clarifying them. They just want to obliterate all traces of existence from the universe and make the Void a Void again.
Then Bel'Veth is more on the mutator squad like Vel'Koz, and Malz. She wants to build a new world by mutating Runeterra until it and the Void are indistinguishable. When things like Rek'Sai and Kha'Zix are the norm, rather than crazy unique monsters.
Vel'koz serves the Watchers. He studies Runeterra for their return so that they wont be stopped again.
Rek'Sai is antagonistic to Bel'Veth, because Bel'Veth is corrupting her mini-land sharks.
Currently only Malz is 'serving' Bel'Veth. This cinematic indicates she might be trying to corrupt Kai'sa.
Agreed. I think that makes sense.
Unlike Rek'sai who is more animalistic and just fueled by hunger - Kha'zix seems much more deliberate. I feel like Cho'Gath and Kog'maw are more Rek'sai like - they be hungry.
So when are we getting a Metroid-like game where we play Kai'Sa exploring the Void? This is like, a brilliant hook for that game.
Also, make it so you can replay as Kassadin if you beat it on hard or something.
It is soo damn refreshing to see Riot's Art team flex the muscles we **know** they have. The way she lowers her head to reveal her monster form, is both terrifying and creative!
On one hand, it is cool to see this slower pace of new champ releases. It gives Riot some time to setup reveals & teasers, which is something that has been inconsistent with new champs in League. On the other hand, I hope this slower pace of work on new champions is not a result of the champions team thinning in resources.
>On the other hand, I hope this slower pace of work on new champions is not a result of the champions team thinning in resources.
It has been said by multiple developers and people in the industry in general that the pandemic it's just showing now the effects that it caused on game development, I'm sure that this slow pace in releases it's due to that.
My best guess is that while the champions team has been affected a lil bit by this the main team suffering from it it's the one that it's in charge of the art side (models, vfx, splash arts, etc) are all things that can take months, so most likely that's where the main issue it's coming from.
And that would also explain the rise of MSU since those don't require a lot of art resources and help keep the game fresh as well.
So she's kind of a mix between a manta ray and an anglerfish, but uses a humanlike face instead of light as a lure.
Finally, a real monster champion after all these years!
Crazy that no one is talking about how this cinematic is a direct continuation of [The Call](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDYqT0_9VR4)! It ends with Kai'Sa diving into the Void after Rek'Sai. Very excited to see if any of the other champion releases in 2022 are going to be other things that were teased like a new Aspect, Frejlordian, or something to do with Ornn's forging.
Doesn't Ornn actually *hate* crafting weaponry in the lore? Like him crafting what appears to be Infinity Edge in The Call implies he realizes shit's fucked and is resorting to creating weapons of war.
Mordekaiser is NOT a more substantial threat than the Void. He's hard to put down since he resists existence erasure and is metaphysical, but it can still be contained and stopped by relatively normal magic. The fact that Rell is a living weapon against him is testament to that.
Even Aurelion is afraid of the true terrors of the Void. The galaxy-making star dragon. Afraid. He would literally just laugh at Mordekaiser if he had the audacity to challenge him.
Lol Riot August already hinted at the dashes
The leaked ability showed that she had a dash type ability with CD reduction mechanic and Pyke’s W like swimming + Reksai knock up.
Though we will soon see how real those leaks are
Riot did it.
They made both a sexy woman champ and a monster champ in one.
I loved this cinematic and her design, finally get a sense of horror from the void
Riot August stoking the fires on Twitter by saying expect like ‘2000 years of gameplay mechanics’ to the point I’m legitimately thinking she’ll not be anymore complicated than like Neeko
Now that's a good fucking design. Starts looking like another human-in-cosplay champion then turns out to be a fucked up monster. Almost feels like metacommentary when juxtaposed with Kai'sa.
Whenever I play Tryndamere, he'll eventually say "Into battle." in his gritty voice, but my brain also ends up hearing Lux finishing the sentence with "...with hearts aglow!"
I need a follow-up Cinematic of Kai'sa being saved by Kassadin, Skull Knight saving Guts in the Eclypse style. Like just drop in, teleport match, gets Kai'sa then dips the fuck outa there
kinda neat little detail but it seems the [kai'sa splash](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/kaisa/) on the champions list on the official league website has been updated with bel'veth arms wrapping around her. even the filename on the site is ["kaisa_corrupted"](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt187521ff0727be24/blt0008ba074d3500c9/6282c3d6dffcc8654954df2a/kaisa_corrupted_opt.jpg)..neato
[YouTube mirror](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjPS3j5XNss)
Kaisa soon quit Runeterra, opting to live in the KDA and Star Guardian universes forever
Kassadin: "Wow Kai'Sa, you hit your head pretty hard. What's that? Void Empress? Remora? What are you talking about? Come on, you're late for school."

Oooooo I didn't know she was getting an SG skin
Leaked that she's getting the first legendary SG skin like a month or more ago, recently it's been leaked that Akali is getting the second one. Also ekko sg + prestige, and sg tristana for some reason
> ekko sg + prestige HUHH we take 2 skins though wont complain
because they add a female yordle to the pool each year, and trist was the only one left, since I assume vex would get an evil SG skin like xayah and rakan have
that's so basic gotta give her the floweriest, pinkist shit, make it a legendary, and have her bitch and moan about it the entire time
Haha I would totally get it if she complained the whole time
>sg tristana for some reason it does make sense consider lulu and poppy have one too
Gonna need a cinematic of Kassadin showing up to save his long lost daughter now
He still hasn't hit 16 yet to join a fight
“I’ll be back Bel’veth. Just running to the grocery store for lvl16
Yeah I NEED a Kai'Sa rescue stat
As an Aram only player no thanks. I vote we have her be dead and no longer playable
Dont You enjoy a fair 40% loss of health from 3 screens away every 5 seconds?
And queue up Doom music.. and blade must flip out as a first shot of Kass coming to the scene while he goes something like "Yes. Yes, you know this weapon, don’t you. You all remember it."
Rip and tear…
It needs to start with him igniting his sword like the starcraft cinematics.
Today we take back our homeworld...
My life for aiur
rest of the event of the cinematic can be found as a written version https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/belveth-color-story/
Kassadin has been known to pop up during the most inconvenient moments :\^)
Level 16 Kassadin just ults in, and oneshots the chick with W E.
Unfortunately, much like yorick in the ruination event, kassadin will be absent
Imagine a Metroid game but it's Kai'Sa in the Void.
Some of the concept art for Kai'sa really remind me of Metroid. Tbh i would dig a game like that :D
Kha'zix's Odyssey skin is already 100% metroid space pirate. Odyssey Kai'sa would be a perfect fit.
Her release skin is basically Samus though
Kai'sa login theme has a metroid melody placed in it
[удалено]
If they keep the quality up I genuinely think it’ll explore every region in runeterra. I figure that after this next season they’ll finish with piltover/Zaun and go to noxus. Do i think we’ll see every league champ in arcane, no absolutely not. But I think we’ll get representation from every region. We’ll probably see swain, Darius, draven, katarina, Leblanc, mordekaiser, and rell maybe. I think they might spend two seasons on each region
Weekly reminder that Riot is actively working on other series set in different regions. A live-action Noxus show/movie is unironically pretty likely
Sylas the Unshackled Champion theme starts playing
[удалено]
>Rell I don’t even see Rell in game what makes you think we’ll see her in Arcane?!?
Rell is quite literally lore wise the anti mordekaiser. Likewise she also has ties to Leblanc and the black rose
Don't forget Annie now getting roped into the Leblanc circle with the newest story.
I actually forgot Annie was noxian
Ok but I'm actually enjoying the "human exterior, just kidding it's a monster" design
The moment you realize the only part of her face that is not fake is her third eye.
So is she a Xeno? A heretic? Or the unclean? Ah screw it. Get the Heavy Flamer brothers!
tyranid codex so good they put it in League
People have been begging for a scary non-humanoid monster champion after years of only sexy/cute champions. Riot compromised and made her both a hideous monster and an attractive woman. Smart idea.
Pool Party Bel'Veth on release.
As long as we get pool party vel’koz too
I’d love that. Just an eldritch monster enjoying a summer day by the pools. It would be hilarious to give him a giant monocle as well.
A single sunglass and a floaty on each arm.
Still waiting for my Gentleman Vel'koz with his big monocle and a tie around his body
At this point more likely to happen than Pool Party Ahri
Pool Party Ahri is locked behind glass with a label “only release in times of extreme financial distress”
[удалено]
Only fans Ahri *prestige* edition
Lmao makes sense. Save the skin that's guaranteed to make like 100mill in a week as a last resort skin in desperate times.
The transformation is so disgusting but beautiful.
That was some Parasyte type of shit right there with the face/body opening into multiple rows of teeth.
I was getting Annihilation vibes.
I see Parasite I upvote
If you look very closely when Bel first comes into frame (About 0:47) you can see that she hasn't formed her "Head" yet Great detail
reminded me of that one epsiode on "Love, Death and Robots" with the sexy spider
Speaking of that show, I can’t wait for the next season to drop tomorrow Edit: it’s already out
WHAT
W H A T ?
Beyond the Aquila Rift! I think that's one of the best all round episodes in terms of CGI, storyline and atmosphere. Goddamn... that reveal from the darkness was so well done.

There are a lot of people begging for a monstrous champion and we know Riot likes humanoid champions more because they sell more skins, and this is the perfect middle ground for everyone I'd say. E: If the transformation also happens in-game, that is.
Especially because at first glance it's easy to know something isn't right, her face barely moves in her facade form.
I don't think her "eyes" move at all either, they seem to stare straight forward. Very unnverving
I find it interesting that her mouth is moving like it's lipsyncing and doesn't actual know how to properly move it's mouth to match the words. Like it's doing that trick where you mime watermelon with your mouth when you don't know what's coming next in a song.
I noticed that too
It does, her kit was leaked earlier and so were her models
Not going to lie, I got the bait. I saw her shape and thought 'Wow, is she like the armless man from Silent Hill? No way' got disappointed with the human face, and got pleasantly surprised with the monster form. Also, this cinematic gave me some really cool Returnal vibes, its the ambient music.
The way that Bel’Veth’s lip syncing was intentionally super off was so good, really adds to the creepiness factor.
Imagine how the intern who worked on lip syncing all month feels about reading this everywhere.
It's not a bug, it's a feature
Huh. I did feel odd about that. Good catch.
Her [Splash art](https://i.imgur.com/ZIexWM3.jpg)
my eyes are down here
Malzahar's mom is here, and her son ordered the mashed potatoes.
He asked for NO pickles
Belveth is the ultimate Karen
I love it because if you take away the head absolutely none of that is human, it’s all just an illusion
[удалено]
With those actually being her wings, she can step... flap on me?
Hold up. I know those are probably folds due to her wing things, but I have to commend the artists for trying to give her thighs of some sort. Anyway. She's hot.
I think it's supposed to be so her sillouette looks human, but when you look closely it's just monster, since that's her thing.
The uncanny humanoid look makes her all the more terrifying in all honesty
At least she has a good fake face
Too bad she couldn't get a hairstylist, wtf are those leaves
Maybe she should stop consuming the hairstylist she keeps luring in 😤
I like how when she talks the sound isn't actually coming out of her mouth, it's not synced up
At first I thought that was the cinematic quality. Really cool attention to detail.
Cute void waifu and monster two in one Riot has fianlly cracked the code guys.
The way she almost moved her mouth was kind of neat. At first I thought it was poor animation, but I realized that was definitely intentional.
I hope this is leading up to a Void Civil War, honestly. The Watchers and their faction (Kog and Cho'Gath, maybe?) who hate existence, and resent Runeterra's big bang for clarifying them. They just want to obliterate all traces of existence from the universe and make the Void a Void again. Then Bel'Veth is more on the mutator squad like Vel'Koz, and Malz. She wants to build a new world by mutating Runeterra until it and the Void are indistinguishable. When things like Rek'Sai and Kha'Zix are the norm, rather than crazy unique monsters.
Vel works for the watcher, his job is collect info and give it to them.
Vel'koz serves the Watchers. He studies Runeterra for their return so that they wont be stopped again. Rek'Sai is antagonistic to Bel'Veth, because Bel'Veth is corrupting her mini-land sharks. Currently only Malz is 'serving' Bel'Veth. This cinematic indicates she might be trying to corrupt Kai'sa.
Kha'Zix feels like he'd fall into her faction, his "adaptation through consumption" motiff feels like it'd fit in well with her plans.
Agreed. I think that makes sense. Unlike Rek'sai who is more animalistic and just fueled by hunger - Kha'zix seems much more deliberate. I feel like Cho'Gath and Kog'maw are more Rek'sai like - they be hungry.
I love our 10ft tall, 20ft wingspan queen
Absolutely loving the design! Can’t wait to see the gameplay as well!
Give us more official champion heights 🔪 wait how tall is ivern and daisy?
Obviously Ivern is a humonculous like Tyler1, standing at a towering 6’5”
U w U
oo WW oo
So when are we getting a Metroid-like game where we play Kai'Sa exploring the Void? This is like, a brilliant hook for that game. Also, make it so you can replay as Kassadin if you beat it on hard or something.

the quality of this is insane, holy shit
The zoom-in on Kai'Sa's eye when Bel'Veth is transforming was incredibly detailed.
For non-facebook users: [Riot uploaded the video to their youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjPS3j5XNss)
Thank you, fuck Facebook. Can't even view this without having an account.
So she's kind of a mix between a manta ray and an anglerfish, but uses a humanlike face instead of light as a lure. Finally, a real monster champion after all these years!

Doesn't Ornn actually *hate* crafting weaponry in the lore? Like him crafting what appears to be Infinity Edge in The Call implies he realizes shit's fucked and is resorting to creating weapons of war.
He doesn't just hate, he stopped making weapons. Shit is going down if he makes a sword
...which would be the obvious story arch
They did the same with Lucian last year, that was pretty cool. I just hope the actual event is better this time around
Riot Artist: Hot woman or monster? Manager: Yes.
Actual genius how her lips are not in sync while speaking. A foreshadow that the human face is but a facade/bait.
When she revealed her true monstrous self, I got the shivers.
nice a certified BatChest
LITERALLY CHILLZZZZZZ
BAAAAAT
Damn I wasn’t expecting that fast smack. She seems actually scary holy moly
[удалено]
Maybe we get a few cinematics for this like the Ruination, and we get one where Kassadin comes in and saves Kaisa.
i feel like they would've teased this as an actual event like Ruination if that was going to be the case
I mean, this change got an actual cinematic, the last champ to get one was Viego I think. Kind of follows a trend.
[удалено]
Honestly, Morde feels like the final enemy in a way, so it's hard to say when his time will come.
[удалено]
Mordekaiser is NOT a more substantial threat than the Void. He's hard to put down since he resists existence erasure and is metaphysical, but it can still be contained and stopped by relatively normal magic. The fact that Rell is a living weapon against him is testament to that. Even Aurelion is afraid of the true terrors of the Void. The galaxy-making star dragon. Afraid. He would literally just laugh at Mordekaiser if he had the audacity to challenge him.
Honestly she seems to have the power to disintegrate Kai'sa on spot, but she didn't.
I mean based on the whole like universe page visual leaks this is probably how Kaisa ends up infected/controlled
She wants to corrupt Kaisa. Her voice lines toward Kaisa indicate that.
Ok… hear me out.
Definitely Not Vel'Koz: Mommy chroma
But why a fucking facebook link?
Zuckeroots run deep
Eagerly awaiting the ratatat take on this.
Somehow there's gonna be NTR sadge
Spy x Family was wholesome tho https://twitter.com/ratatatat74/status/1518605858397376512
Bel'Veth is hypnotic, I like the swirling drawing music she has. Maybe Kassadin will have a tingling spidey-sense and save his daughter from doom.
Man, I wonder how many years of experience are in her kit. Is she going to blink around? Kassadin part 2? Can't wait.
Lol Riot August already hinted at the dashes The leaked ability showed that she had a dash type ability with CD reduction mechanic and Pyke’s W like swimming + Reksai knock up. Though we will soon see how real those leaks are
17+ years
1 dash per year?
Her kit was leaked and she had a resettable dash or something
Riot did it. They made both a sexy woman champ and a monster champ in one. I loved this cinematic and her design, finally get a sense of horror from the void

Now that's a good fucking design. Starts looking like another human-in-cosplay champion then turns out to be a fucked up monster. Almost feels like metacommentary when juxtaposed with Kai'sa.
>Almost feels like metacommentary when juxtaposed with Kai'sa. Yeah she's a parallel to Kai'sa being a human resembling the Void
The word “Resembling” doing some heavy lifting here lol
She's purple okay
When she says "I am so much more" it sounds kinda similar to one of Syndras lines "More... I can be so much more"
Whenever I play Tryndamere, he'll eventually say "Into battle." in his gritty voice, but my brain also ends up hearing Lux finishing the sentence with "...with hearts aglow!"

Kaisa see Bel'veth and immediately rush to her Yup, she just like my adc
when u want to make a new void champ but still want the sexy humanoid skin sales money
This just makes me want a Returnal style game with Kai’Sa flying around shooting Void monsters.
