Wild Rift celebrates its esports with Nova skin line release

Wild Rift launched their skin line celebrating Nova esports, the winner of the Icons Championship 2022. This skin line is the very first iteration commemorating real life players — similar to League of Legend’s tradition of creating skins for the winner of every Worlds championship.

Each player has one champion. And the Nova skins have the players’ autographs drawn onto the splash arts for each of their respective champion. Nova Morgana has Remake on it, Nova Lucian has nian written on it, Nova Lee Sin has Jong written on it, Nova Nasus has yami rewritten on it, and Nova Riven has Y1ze written on it. Each Wild Rift Nova skin costs 990 Wild Core each, or they’re also purchasable for bundles.

Icons Championship 2022 will likely be the closest Wild Rift will come to holding a Worlds championship for quite some time — seeing as how the Western esport was shut down and the scene struggles to survive its hardships.

But to be honest, the event cannot have been considered quite worlds, something Riot themselves have admitted. This is because many regions of the world still do not have access to Wild Rift. Regardless, it’ll likely be the closest the game comes to League of Legends Worlds for a long time, thereby the skins that have been made are something of a love letter to the esports and its fans.
