New Dark Star skins: Kha’Zix and Orianna

Next to the new Dark Star game mode, a matching set of skins have been added to the Public Beta Environment to release in patch 7.9.

This video teaser was posted on Tuesday afternoon and the full reveal came shortly after.

Dark Star Kha’Zix

Kha’Zix already looks good in purple in his base skin, but this deep and misty hue really suits him. His claws have neat glowing galaxy particles and he definitely looks like a deep space monster you’d see in an alien movie.

Dark Star Kha’Zix is tentatively priced at 1350 RP and will have a special recall, new model and all that spicy new jazz.

Kha’Zix’s last skin was the beautiful Death Blossom Kha’Zix that was released in March 2016.

Dark Star Orianna

Orianna looks great in a positively evil way. Her facial features are hidden by the usual Dark Star mask (or maybe that’s just their face?) and she’s decorated with beautiful galaxy-themed swirls around her body. As expected, her ball is a black hole thingy.

The skin is tentatively priced at 1350 RP and that includes a new model, particles and a special recall!

Orianna’s last skin was Heartseeker Orianna, which was released for Valentine’s Day in February 2016.

Many fans believe that the Dark Star skins have a link to the Star Guardian skins. While some people believe that Dark Stars are Star Guardians that were corrupted during their time serving, some others think that the Dark Stars are just the bad guys the SGs fight. (Hey, I’m down for the idea that Varus and Thresh wore frilly school uniforms.) Could this mean new Star Guardian skins are coming soon, too?

These skins will be on the 7.9 PBE cycle!

This post will be updated as new information becomes available.
