League of Legends Patch 25.S1.1 & Noxus
As mentioned, the new LoL update is related to Noxus, which is one of Runterra’s iconic regions. Riot knows that fans like it, so the company has decided to tease them with a list of different events. The information became available on X, following a tweet from League of Legends’s X account. The tweet had a caption that read, “Let the age of Noxus begin,” and included much interesting information.
But what exactly is Nexus in League of Legends? This is a state inside the game’s Runterra lore. People who have been following Arcane will recognize it because this is where Mel Medarda and Ambessa Medarda come from.
In terms of the League of Legends champions that come from Noxus, the list includes a few popular names:
- LeBlanc
- Ambessa
- Darius
- Mordekaiser
- Smolder
The Events in the League of Legends Patch 25.S1.1
There are several important things that you need to know about when it comes to the new patch. Let’s analyze each one.
Noxus Cinematic
The LoL fans need to wait until January 7 because this is when Riot will release the Welcome to Noxus cinematic. Like all other cinematics, this one will have its own storyline, but fans will also get to see what’s going to happen in the game’s newest patch.
If you scroll through the comments on X, you can see that some people believe the trailer will include elements about the new Arcane sequel. It will be interesting to see if this is going to be the case.
Dev Update
League of Legends Patch 25.S1.1 will include a wide range of changes to the game. Since players want to know more about it, the devs will provide the information on January 8.
No one knows what kind of updates we will have access to, but we expect to see buffs, nerfs, cosmetic chances, and more. After all, this will be the first big update in 2025, so Riot will want to start with a bang.
“Bringer of Ruin” Motion Comic
January 9, 2025, is also when League of Legends players will have access to a new Motion Comic. For those who do not know, the comics are like animatics and provide interesting information about specific characters.
The comic will be related to Atakhan, and as we know, he has a fascinating past. This means that the comic should include intriguing details.
Visual Updates and SR Gameplay
Old-school League of Legends players know that SR is something that Riot uses to determine people’s skills. The so-called Skill Rating will receive big changes in League of Legends Patch 25.S1.1 should result in better overall matchmaking.
Alongside the changes to SR, Riot also said that there will be visual updates. Consequently, we expect to see better animations and graphics.
Act 1 Battle Pass
The first Battle Pass of 2025 in League of Legends will become available on January 9. Those who want to progress through the different tiers will only need to play the game. Once you reach a given tier, you will receive a special reward in the form of a cosmetic item.
Like other battle passes, this one will have free rewards. However, those who want some of the more interesting options will need to get the Premium Tier.
Radiant Serpent Skin & Masque of the Black Rose Skin
League of Legends players love skins, so most are excited for January 9. This is when Riot will release the new Radiant Serpent skin for Sett. From what we can see, the skin has a black outfit alongside gold accents, and Sett himself has light hair.
The fact that the skin looks nice is no surprise because it is “Exalted”. These types of skins are very popular and among the most expensive. People wishing to obtain them have to collect 80 Ancient Sparks. This will be possible via the gacha-like Sanctum system.
Alongside the option for Sett, there is also another new skin called Masque of the Black Rose. Those who followed Arcane knew that the Black Rose had a very important role, so Riot embraced it even more.
Once January 9 arrives, players will have access to the new skin, which will be very nice.
Conclusion
As mentioned, we are just a few days away from the release of all the new League of Legends updates. We at Blix.gg will make sure to check all of them and give you more information once they become available. Be sure to follow us for the latest LoL information.
