Riot Games has officially revealed the full contents of Patch 26.13, scheduled to go live on June 24, 2026. While new champion Locke — the Ashen Exorcist — is the headliner, the patch packs a number of significant updates that will impact a wide range of players.
High Noon Skins: Akshan and Locke
The beloved High Noon skin line is back with two new additions. Akshan and Locke both receive skins in the dark western fantasy theme, with Akshan taking on the role of a mystical gunslinger and Locke debuting as an infernal exorcist straight out of the frontier. Both skin previews were released by Riot ahead of the patch and were met with enthusiasm from the community.
ARAM Chaos Gets a Major Overhaul
ARAM Chaos is receiving its most significant update to date. All existing augment sets are being disabled and replaced by over 50 brand-new augments, including a new category called skill augments that directly modify champion abilities. This creates entirely new gameplay combinations that vary dramatically from game to game. Riot has indicated the system will continue to evolve in subsequent patches.
Ranked 5s Returns for Summer
Ranked 5s — the full-party ranked mode exclusive to pre-made teams of five — is making its return from June 26 through September 6, 2026. The mode will only be available during specific weekend hours, giving organized teams a chance to test their coordination against other full squads in a competitive setting. It was one of the most requested features by the amateur competitive community.
With Locke, High Noon skins, a revamped ARAM Chaos, and Ranked 5s making a comeback, Patch 26.13 is shaping up to be one of the most content-rich patches of the year. Mark your calendars for June 24.
