League of Legends will be getting 12 new Star Guardian Skins and an in-client narrative experience called Star Guardian: Another Sky. Another Sky looks like it builds on previous events like Spirit Blossom and Sentinels of Light to tell a story with the freedom of an alternate universe, free of mainline lore.

Nilah, the Joy Unbound, is the game’s newest champion, and she’ll be one of
