League of Legends is preparing a vibrant celebration for the Lunar New Year of 2026, bringing back the Firecracker skin line, which is a community favorite. Riot Games, the developer of the MOBA, is set to release the new cosmetic visuals in early February, more precisely on the 4th, a date that coincides with the Lunar New Year festivities. These items arrive to color the Summoner’s Rift with the traditional festival theme, full of red, gold, and firework effects. The reveal comes thanks to leaks that circulated in the community in recent days, keeping players excited for the start of the year.
As a result of tradition, Firecracker skins are known for their visual quality and festive theme, which makes them always highly anticipated. Therefore, Brazilian players can expect a collection that maintains the vibrant identity of the line, with animations inspired by lanterns and the typical energy of the celebrations. The release is scheduled to occur during Phase 1 of the 2026 Season: For Demacia, offering thematic content right in the first competitive act of the year. Thus, the arrival of these cosmetics is not only a cultural celebration but also an aesthetic milestone for the game in this early 2026.
What are the rumors about prices and champions?
Based on Riot’s previous event formats, rumors indicate that the 2026 Firecracker skins should be of Epic tier. Therefore, the standard price should be around 1350 Riot Points (RP) per unit. In an approximate conversion to Brazilian Real, considering RP bundles, each skin may represent an investment close to R$ 30 to R$ 35, depending on the bundle purchased. Furthermore, concept art leaks already give hints about possible champions receiving skins, mentioning names like Ziggs, Ashe, and even a version of Samira inspired by the Battle Academia line, which adds a surprise element to the official announcement.
Still, it is important to remember that this information is based on leaks and the company’s historical pattern. Riot Games may, therefore, introduce variations to the model, such as prestige skins or exclusive upgrades for the event. However, the core of the collection should maintain the tier and value expected by players. Thus, fans can plan to acquire their favorite visuals as soon as they arrive in the store in February, ensuring their champions shine with the colors of the celebration on the Rift.
