The most exciting announcement for the start of the first half of the year is the addition of Shurima as a playable region. The desert world of Shurima is filled with treasure and splendor, and players will have access to the rich and deep history of the region. With plenty of champions hailing from Shurima, players can certainly expect champions like Azir, Nasus, and Renekton to join Legends of Runeterra.
