Along with the gameplay update, Swain is also getting a visual update, changing his skins and models around. He’s still an older gentleman with a scary looking pet bird, but now he’s fancy and up-to-date with more modern video game designs!

Swain has ditched his green, gold, and black color scheme for red and black! He also ... looks like Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter but that’s not a bad thing. We’re here for it.

Swain’s looking fresh in this skin as if he cleaned up and also de-aged approximately 20 years.

Ah yes, Green Swain.
All of these updates, along with the rest of Swain’s rework, are scheduled to go live in Patch 8.3. For now, you can test them all out on the Public Beta Environment.
This post will be updated as more information becomes available.
