LoL skins bring variety to Summoner's Rift, but how many new skins has Riot released? We've done our research and keep you up to date on all the new LoL skins added to the game every few weeks.
A free to play MOBA like League of Legends will have to make money somehow, right? Thankfully there are enough LoL skins to fund a mission to the moon. With over 160 champions there are also more skins than most can dream of.
So let's check out everything we know about the new LoL skins in 2023 and what plans Riot has for their cash cow. Which skins are you most excited about this year?
LoL Skins Released In 2023?
| 💡What was the first-ever League of Legends skin? The first League of Legends skin ever created was "Black Alistar." It was originally a reward for pre-ordering the Collector's Edition of the game when it was released in October 2009. |
We know that there are around 1,400 unique skins in League of Legends at the start of 2023. This year more skins will be added to the repertoire and many more champions will be receiving new and unique looks for League of Legends.
While we had a bunch of brand-new skins in 2022, we do expect some epic new skins, as well as re-runs of some fan-favorites in 2023. Maybe some more Shan Hai Scrolls skins this year? Please and thank you!

How Many Skins Will Riot Release in 2023?
In 2022, we received almost 140 skins, the same as in 2021, which is why we believe that in 2023 we will once again be getting around 130 or 140 skins! With each League of Legends patch being released almost every 2 weeks and there being at least 3 or more skins added each patch, we can hope for a lot of new looks.
Which Prestige Skins Have Been Released in 2023?
Prestige skins will once again be making a comeback in 2023. In 2022, the skins team buffed the prestige thematic, adding brand-new concepts to make them feel more exclusive.

| Mythmaker | Mythmaker Sivir Prestige Edition | January 11, 2023 | LoL Patch 13.1 |

Mythic Variants Revealed
Riot also added in a new skin tier in 2023, revealing Mythic Variants, which can be obtained through a loot box/gacha system. These skins have been added to give League of Legends players even more exclusive content, since some felt that prestige skins were not exclusive enough.
Mythic Variants can cost up to $200 since obtaining them will rely on someone's luck and whether they can pull it within a specific amount of loot boxes, before receiving it for sure.
LoL Mythic Shop: What Skins Are Available?
Since players did not think that Hextech skins were that special or unique, Riot has decided to create 'seasonal mythics' which will have a rotating thematic for unique skins in the mythic shop each year.
You'll also be able to pick up older prestige skins, so if you forgot to play during a specific time period and missed your chance to pick up a prestige Arcade Caitlyn, you'll be able to get it through the mythic shop which will have a monthly rotation of prestige skins available.
What Are Mythic Chromas?
With the introduction of the new Mythic Shop, Riot added new mythic content. One of the newest additions is known as a mythic chroma, which is a new chroma for either a Seasonal Mythic skin or a previously released legendary skin. These Chromas have a new color scheme for the champion, as well as their VFX.
Mythic Chromas will cost 40 Mythic Essence. In 2023, more skins will be getting Mythic Chromas as well as new skins in the mythic shop for you to enjoy and pick up.
