Victor's new appearance
The new update will see Viktor's in-game appearance match his Netflix counterpart.
It is unknown if this huge change will change the character's backstory or how his abilities will work in the game.
It's worth noting that since the leak already preceded the leak, the game's creators may make some last-minute changes to Viktor's appearance.
However, Riot Games, the game's maker, has confirmed that it will be bringing more Arcane items to League of Legends thanks to the huge success of the TV series.
They have also announced that more spin-offs based on the video game are in the works.
