To celebrate Arcane Season 2, League of Legends is releasing the Arcane Fractured Jinx skin, a new type of cosmetic that’ll cost you $250.
First it was the infamous Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin chroma that clocked in at a hefty $200. Then there was the Faker Ahri skin, which, if you wanted the best version, would cost you $430. Now, to celebrate the Arcane Season 2 release date, Riot has announced that there’s a new Jinx skin in the works, but it belongs to a brand-new tier of League of Legends cosmetics – Exalted. As you can imagine, the price point is pretty chunky, and it’s going down as well as you’d expect.
Announced on Wednesday October 16 during a League of Legends developer catch-up video, the Arcane Fractured Jinx skin will feature two new models across “three different forms” (I’m comparing it to Seraphine’s K/DA skin in my head) and a new voiceover that’s reflective of Jinx’s Season 2 journey. You’ll switch between these using a “slot-machine mechanic” a la DJ Sona, which is bound to ctrl-5.
That all sounds amazing, but it’s clear that the skin is going to cost a pretty penny. Defined as a “luxury good” for “players who want hyper-exclusive skins,” Riot notes that the MOBA‘s new cosmetics are “what happens when we let our teams cook, pushing our design and tech capabilities to make the best possible skin for each champion’s unique fantasy within a specific theme.”
