New Coven and Old Gods Skins in Patch 26.19: Release Date, Cost, and Champions

Janna, Mel, Anivia, and Urgot are getting ready for fall festivities with brand-new Coven and Old Gods skins. Let’s recap everything players should know.

Riot is Releasing Two New Skin Sets in Patch 26.19

Worlds isn’t the only thing to celebrate this fall. As autumn approaches, spooky season is near, and Riot Games is celebrating by dropping two new League of Legends skin sets. A Coven sequel with Mel and Janna is arriving alongside Old Gods options for Anivia and Urgot. These skins are perfect for Halloween with a ghostly, witchy aesthetic. Here’s a quick recap of what they look like, how much they cost, and how to get them.

New Coven Skins: Coven Mel and Coven Janna

The Coven skin line has been a fan favorite in League of Legends since it launched in 2018. It gives champions a dark, witchy makeover, full of deep purples and black magic themes. Players love it because the dark vibes are different from anything else in the game, adding a little spice to the normally lighthearted Rift. Champions like Ahri, LeBlanc, and Morgana get a haunting new look that still fits their personality. Now, fresh options are also dropping for Janna and Mel.

Coven Janna wears a deep black, feathery bodysuit with gold accents. Her staff has a blazing red eye inside it. Janna also dons a birdlike mask and bright red earrings.

Meanwhile, Mel has a midnight-colored cloak with trailing burgundy fabric. She also wears fur. Mel keeps her golden skin designs but also has a sharp headdress. Her hair turns a ghostly white, and she has long, clawlike nails.

New Old Gods Skins: Old God Anivia and Old God Urgot

Old God Anivia is another new addition. This skin is honestly pretty terrifying, but in a dark fantasy way. Anivia’s third eye has been opened, and she has more owl-like features. Her feathers trail with flame. This eldritch horror will be walling your minions off in style.

Meanwhile, Old God Urgot wears gothic-style metal armor. He has a horned headpiece and ghastly purple skin.

How Much Will the New Coven and Old Gods Skins Cost?

Since the Coven and Old Gods sequel skins haven’t launched yet, Riot hasn’t confirmed how much they will cost. Typically, skin costs depend on the cosmetic tier of the item. Epic tier skins usually cost 1350 RP, or about 10 USD. Legendary skins usually cost 1820 RP, or about 15 USD. We’ll update this as we get more info.

  • Coven Mel: likely 1350 RP, the standard price for Epic tier skins in the Coven line
  • Coven Janna: likely 1350 RP, matching most other Coven releases, though it could reach 1820 RP if it lands as a Legendary tier skin
  • Old God Anivia: likely 1350 RP, since most Old God skins release at the Epic tier
  • Old God Urgot: likely 1350 RP, following the same Epic tier pattern as other Old God skins

How to Get the New League of Legends Skins

Once the Coven and Old Gods skins arrive, they’ll probably pop up in the in-game shop. You’ll likely see them on a Featured banner, so they’ll be easy to find. Otherwise, players are always able to filter their Shop for specific Champions or item types.

You’ll probably only be able to purchase the skins with premium in-game currency. This means you’ll have to pay for RP to get them if you don’t have enough already.

Coven and Old Gods Skins in Patch 26.19: Release Date

The new Coven and Old Gods skins will all release with League of Legends Patch 26.19, arriving on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Exact launch times may vary depending on the player’s region and server location.

Typically, Riot rolls these updates out during times when the server has low traffic, so it shouldn’t affect your gameplay too much. Once the patch goes live, it’ll appear on the Riot website.

League of Legends Patch 26.18 landed as one of the final updates before Worlds, since the tournament itself runs on Patch 26.20. This patch brought buffs to Ekko, Kassadin, Master Yi, Viego, and Zaahen, along with a small power boost to the Rageblade item system. On the flip side, Bard, Nautilus, Seraphine, Syndra, and Zeri are getting nerfed. Cassiopeia stands out as the one champion getting a rework instead, since Riot wants to keep her strong in lane and easier to play at lower ranks while toning down her dominance in pro play.
