Leaks have surfaced online confirming that the third season of League of Legends in 2025 will focus on the Darkin — an ancient race from the Runeterra universe. Images of new Orbs and Bags for the Battle Pass, styled after this mysterious race, have been found. This is the first visual hint at the theme of the upcoming season, which might bring the return of the Darkin to the lands of Runeterra.

On their X page, SkinSpotlights published images of these Orbs and Bags, confirming their connection to the third season. The featured images have already appeared on the test server, increasing the likelihood of their imminent appearance in the game. Since the Battle Pass now directly reflects the narrative of each split, it's safe to assume that the Darkin will take center stage in the storyline of the upcoming phase.

Additionally, rumors suggest that the new champion will be Zaaken, who will represent the Darkin and continue to develop their storyline. It is also expected that a Prestige skin will be released for one of the existing Darkin — Aatrox, Rhaast, or Varus.

A video detailing the season and announcing new changes is expected in the coming weeks, although there is no official confirmation from Riot Games yet.
