Lu Bu Jarvan IV and Zhao Yun Xin Zhao revealed!

Posted on at 12:56 PM by Moobeat
We finally have some information about the Romance of the Three Kingdom's skins discovered in the PBE files a while back! Lu Bu Jarvan IV and Zhao Yun Xin Zhao were both unveiled at a recent event celebrating the one year anniversary of League of Legends in China.
Continue reading for more shots and information about these upcoming and highly anticipated skins!

These skins were announced and previewed at an event celebrating the one year anniversary of League of Legends in China.
Picture compliments of redditor ruanihw.
A short video of the reveal, including animations of the two skins, can be found here.

The two skins are based off the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a historical novel revolving around a section of early Chinese history. I'd be lying if I said this was my strong suite, as I learned about ROTTK by means of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, where both Lu Bu and Zhao Yun serve as playable characters. At any rate, here are some shots of the skins courtesy of BrotherChaun on reddit.

Lu Bu Jarvan IV

 Zhao Yun Xin Zhao
No time frame on these skins just yet, but we can safely assume skins of this caliber will be available on all regions / servers. I'd also wager that Lu Bu and Zhao Yun won't be the "official" names.

  15. Wait so they do chinese history figures but they wouldn't do olympics skins? What?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. They didn't do Olympics skins this year because the Olympic committee made the price of using the Olympic emblem ridiculously expensive. A lot of games that normally celebrate the Olympics with in-game events were unable to because the price of licensing the logo was too high.

      Delete
    2. You don't have to use the Olympics emblem... to make Olympic skins....

      Delete
    3. But the theme is there and its enough

      Delete
    4. Yeah, it got ridiculous this year. Stores in the UK could not use 2012 in their ads, even if it was unrelated to the Olympics.

      Delete
    5. Didn't they say they just weren't going to do anymore real world tie-ins? I'm pretty sure that's why there were no Olympic themed skins. You got pool party Ziggs, that's sporty.

  26. lu bu and zhao yun arent just from dynasty warriors but from rotk, and obviously rotk's zhao yun model was used, and lu bu's model looks a bit like dw7s (wich is the worst dw of the series but that aside)

  33. Are people assuming there will be three because there are the Kingdoms, or are there really three. If you're just assuming there will be, you don't understand DW or 3K.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This guy is right since there is three kingdom: Wu, Wei and Shu, doesn't mean there's gonna be three skin because Lu Bu isn'T in any of the three kingdom. (If I remember correcly is a mercenary of some sort).

  34. I want a horse with this skins

  39. That Zhao Yun Xin Zhao Skin is not right, Zhao Yun was known as the Jade Spear Warrior, so blue is the wrong color, it should be green instead.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Fictitious title upon his death he was demoted to "General of Peace Maintenance" after a failed campaign in Ji Valley because Zhuge Liang gave him inexperienced troops with which to act as a decoy and he was unable to hold the forces of Wei at bay

      Delete
    2. Yeah Because Shu is represent as the Green country in all R3K game, but Zhao Xin almost always wear BLUE no matter what, i don't recall seeing him wearing green in the DW franchise at all.

      To be honest i think they play the "Safe card" even if it's a novel, 90% of people who know about R3K only know if from dynasty warrior, so they keep design close to these in DW, so that way random guys won't like " WTF IN DW HE'S NOT LOOKING LIKE THAT QQ" without even knowing that character doesn't belongs to DW

  54. Wow, Xin Zhao was the first champ I played in League, and I was always like it would be so awesome if they had a Lu Bu skin for him. Now my dream has come true, but they give the Lu Bu one to Jarvan IV, who I never play. Time to perfect a whole new champ, because he's all I'm ever gonna play once these skins come out.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Anyone else swear Jarvan looks like a centaur?
