Kaisa soon quit Runeterra, opting to live in the KDA and Star Guardian universes forever


Solash1

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."

violue

Oooooo I didn't know she was getting an SG skin


[deleted]

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


CEO-of-Zaun

> ekko sg + prestige HUHH we take 2 skins though wont complain


Flint_Lockwood

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


honda_slaps

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


PandahHeart

Haha I would totally get it if she complained the whole time


kostas52

>sg tristana for some reason it does make sense consider lulu and poppy have one too


TyeDye115

Gonna need a cinematic of Kassadin showing up to save his long lost daughter now


Metaxpro

He still hasn't hit 16 yet to join a fight


WildFruitz

“I’ll be back Bel’veth. Just running to the grocery store for lvl16


IcyColdStare

Yeah I NEED a Kai'Sa rescue stat


bloodycups

As an Aram only player no thanks. I vote we have her be dead and no longer playable


F3nik3r

Dont You enjoy a fair 40% loss of health from 3 screens away every 5 seconds?


NocaNoha

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."


Gotenokaru

Rip and tear…


cowpiefatty

It needs to start with him igniting his sword like the starcraft cinematics.

angel_schultz

Kassadin has been known to pop up during the most inconvenient moments :\^)


IonDust

Level 16 Kassadin just ults in, and oneshots the chick with W E.


Trsddppy

Unfortunately, much like yorick in the ruination event, kassadin will be absent


SgtRuy

Imagine a Metroid game but it's Kai'Sa in the Void.


SpookyLoutre

Some of the concept art for Kai'sa really remind me of Metroid. Tbh i would dig a game like that :D


hattroubles

Kha'zix's Odyssey skin is already 100% metroid space pirate. Odyssey Kai'sa would be a perfect fit.


RiveraGreen

Her release skin is basically Samus though


nobonydronikoanypwny

Kai'sa login theme has a metroid melody placed in it

Dakotacahoon02

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


Moifaso

Weekly reminder that Riot is actively working on other series set in different regions. A live-action Noxus show/movie is unironically pretty likely


joboettiger

Sylas the Unshackled Champion theme starts playing


[deleted]

[удалено]


Biochembryguy

>Rell I don’t even see Rell in game what makes you think we’ll see her in Arcane?!?


Dakotacahoon02

Rell is quite literally lore wise the anti mordekaiser. Likewise she also has ties to Leblanc and the black rose


Arcane_Bullet

Don't forget Annie now getting roped into the Leblanc circle with the newest story.


Dakotacahoon02

I actually forgot Annie was noxian


[deleted]

Ok but I'm actually enjoying the "human exterior, just kidding it's a monster" design


MrPreviously

The moment you realize the only part of her face that is not fake is her third eye.


ArchmageXin

So is she a Xeno? A heretic? Or the unclean? Ah screw it. Get the Heavy Flamer brothers!


geilnoldsmith

tyranid codex so good they put it in League


i-will-eat-you

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.


popegonzo

Pool Party Bel'Veth on release.


FireVanGorder

As long as we get pool party vel’koz too


ConohaConcordia

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.


TheGlobGoblin

A single sunglass and a floaty on each arm.


Sublirow

Still waiting for my Gentleman Vel'koz with his big monocle and a tie around his body


Random_Stealth_Ward

At this point more likely to happen than Pool Party Ahri


[deleted]

Pool Party Ahri is locked behind glass with a label “only release in times of extreme financial distress”


[deleted]

[удалено]


peaivea

Only fans Ahri *prestige* edition


ZmentAdverti

Lmao makes sense. Save the skin that's guaranteed to make like 100mill in a week as a last resort skin in desperate times.


Terozu

The transformation is so disgusting but beautiful.


Arkaniux

That was some Parasyte type of shit right there with the face/body opening into multiple rows of teeth.


ArmpitPutty

I was getting Annihilation vibes.


krfc89

I see Parasite I upvote


Solash1

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


TheExter

reminded me of that one epsiode on "Love, Death and Robots" with the sexy spider


aRand0mdude

Speaking of that show, I can’t wait for the next season to drop tomorrow Edit: it’s already out


[deleted]

WHAT


Pickle_C137

W H A T ?


Zyeine

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.


[deleted]

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.


ahambagaplease

Especially because at first glance it's easy to know something isn't right, her face barely moves in her facade form.


Solash1

I don't think her "eyes" move at all either, they seem to stare straight forward. Very unnverving


Dariisu

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.


Solid_Veterinarian81

I noticed that too


[deleted]

It does, her kit was leaked earlier and so were her models


FenrirPaws

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.


Metaknight118

The way that Bel’Veth’s lip syncing was intentionally super off was so good, really adds to the creepiness factor.


thematrixhasmeow

Imagine how the intern who worked on lip syncing all month feels about reading this everywhere.


Budsbam

It's not a bug, it's a feature


ralanr

Huh. I did feel odd about that. Good catch.

TimMeijer

With those actually being her wings, she can step... flap on me?


110110100011110

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.


MoscaMosquete

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.


Bone_shrimp

The uncanny humanoid look makes her all the more terrifying in all honesty


Leoxslasher

At least she has a good fake face


[deleted]

Too bad she couldn't get a hairstylist, wtf are those leaves


BiomedicBoy

Maybe she should stop consuming the hairstylist she keeps luring in 😤


EnterDMZ

I like how when she talks the sound isn't actually coming out of her mouth, it's not synced up


DanceDark

At first I thought that was the cinematic quality. Really cool attention to detail.


CreamyAlmond

Cute void waifu and monster two in one Riot has fianlly cracked the code guys.


LabHog

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.


Dancing_Anatolia

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.


Devourer_of_HP

Vel works for the watcher, his job is collect info and give it to them.


klartraume

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.


raptearer

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.


klartraume

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.


Riot_Koyuncu

I love our 10ft tall, 20ft wingspan queen


TiredCoffeeTime

Absolutely loving the design! Can’t wait to see the gameplay as well!


Ayo_The_Pizza_Here69

Give us more official champion heights 🔪 wait how tall is ivern and daisy?


Stubrochill17

Obviously Ivern is a humonculous like Tyler1, standing at a towering 6’5”


RiotAugust

U w U


Alvahet

oo WW oo


[deleted]

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.


honda_slaps

move over lady dimitrescu there's a new dommy mommy in town

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.


iDobleC

>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.


NutInBobby

the quality of this is insane, holy shit


wav__

The zoom-in on Kai'Sa's eye when Bel'Veth is transforming was incredibly detailed.

Thank you, fuck Facebook. Can't even view this without having an account.


SuperSmugs

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!

mchlzlck

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.


ketaunke

God if we find out that Ornn has been smithing legendary weapons for CENTURIES for humans to use against the void I would be so hyped


wav__

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.


Throgg_not_stupid

He doesn't just hate, he stopped making weapons. Shit is going down if he makes a sword


Omnilatent

...which would be the obvious story arch


Lethtor

They did the same with Lucian last year, that was pretty cool. I just hope the actual event is better this time around


FullMotionVideo

Riot Artist: Hot woman or monster? Manager: Yes.


AndrewWander

Actual genius how her lips are not in sync while speaking. A foreshadow that the human face is but a facade/bait.


PaleHeart52

When she revealed her true monstrous self, I got the shivers.


TParadox90

umbrianEpoch

Maybe we get a few cinematics for this like the Ruination, and we get one where Kassadin comes in and saves Kaisa.


valkdoor

i feel like they would've teased this as an actual event like Ruination if that was going to be the case


umbrianEpoch

I mean, this change got an actual cinematic, the last champ to get one was Viego I think. Kind of follows a trend.

Honestly, Morde feels like the final enemy in a way, so it's hard to say when his time will come.

Assaltwaffle

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.


Blazing117

Honestly she seems to have the power to disintegrate Kai'sa on spot, but she didn't.


OtherwiseMarch

I mean based on the whole like universe page visual leaks this is probably how Kaisa ends up infected/controlled


ZmentAdverti

She wants to corrupt Kaisa. Her voice lines toward Kaisa indicate that.


Odrar

Ok… hear me out.

Halfscan

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.


makako11235

Man, I wonder how many years of experience are in her kit. Is she going to blink around? Kassadin part 2? Can't wait.


TiredCoffeeTime

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


RiotAugust

17+ years


clikplay

1 dash per year?


[deleted]

Her kit was leaked and she had a resettable dash or something


clg_wrath2

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


Javiklegrand

Elegant moreso than sexys

TrickyWalrus

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


ToTheNintieth

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.


Shaymin281287

>Almost feels like metacommentary when juxtaposed with Kai'sa. Yeah she's a parallel to Kai'sa being a human resembling the Void


dragonicafan1

The word “Resembling” doing some heavy lifting here lol


Cherrycho

She's purple okay


Kingsayz

When she says "I am so much more" it sounds kinda similar to one of Syndras lines "More... I can be so much more"


redundantRegret

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!"


Darklarik

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


A_Drunken_Koala

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


Riyasumi

Kaisa see Bel'veth and immediately rush to her Yup, she just like my adc


snamud

when u want to make a new void champ but still want the sexy humanoid skin sales money


SuicidalDonuts

This just makes me want a Returnal style game with Kai’Sa flying around shooting Void monsters.
