Celebrate Jubilant Colors 2023: Runeterra and Beyond!
It’s our third year celebrating the sheer diversity of colors with free content across all Riot games!
Here, we’ll be going over the what, where, when and how players can participate in Riot’s celebrations.
Here at Riot, the diversity of colors inspire us, and we hope they can inspire you too, so let’s get into the content—first up, League of Legends!
League of Legends
What: Two new Emotes featuring two of our hardest-hitting Champs that’ll help you flex your skill whether you get a solo-kill or clear that ward right as it’s placed.
We’re also bringing back last year’s Jubilant Colors emotes with the return of Partners in Crime, Accepted, and Jubilant Colors 2022.
And it wouldn’t be a celebration without homeguard trails returning! Change your boring homeguard trails to colorful, jubilant homeguard trails by equipping any of the correlated Pengu Icons available for 1 Blue Essence a pop! Check out the list here: Prismatic Pengu Icon, Cotton Candy Pengu Icon, Galactic Pengu Icon, Sunset Pengu Icon, Twilight Pengu Icon, Primary Pengu Icon, Sherbert Pengu Icon, Mint Pengu Icon.
How and When: You can unlock the Jubilant Colors 2023 emotes through Missions that’ll pop up in your client starting June first! Past Emotes can be purchased for 1 Blue Essence in the store—they’re Essencetially free. You’ll only have till the end of June 22nd to complete these missions, so team up and slay away!
Details Plz: Equipping Jubilant Colors icons (of past and present) doesn’t just make your homeguard trails more pretty-like, it also alters your League of Legends profile background art with our brand new art (see top of article). As a note, the equipped icon will only modify homeguard trails between June 2nd and July 1st at 4AM GMT+8 You’ll see the shiny effects at the start of game on Summoner’s Rift and after 14 minutes when you return to base—and I guess before 20 minutes if you respawn after death, but who does that?
Mission Name and Availability | Mission Requirements (Matchmade games only) | Reward |
The Pride of Nazumah | As a Team, slay four Epic Monsters Or Earn points from time spent playing and winning games (750) | Emote: Flex |
Be Fierce | Play as a premade group (2 or more) Or Earn points from time spent playing and winning games (750) | Emote: Light ‘em up |
Legends of Runeterra:
What: We’re swelling with the tides this year. Over at Legends of Runeterra that means there’s a new emote (Nami) rolling in on the tides alongside some returning content: Tyari the Traveler emote, Twisted Fate emote, Poro emote, and 8 Poro Icons. Check out the collection here.
The icon is the same for Wild Rift, so check them out in greater details with the Wild Rift section!
How and When: The Jubilant Colors bundle hits the store starting June 1st—oh it’s already there!? Well, let the celebrations begin! Pick up the bundle in the store for 0 coins until it leaves June 28th!
Teamfight Tactics:
What: Dip into the Convergence with a brand new emote! Alongside our new Emote, our Jubilant Colors booms are making a comeback. To be totally transparent, TFT is my main gig, but that doesn’t dim the colors of the following booms you can equip: Mint Boom, Rose Quartz Boom, Sapphire Boom, Catseye Boom, Obsidian Boom, Tanzanite Boom, Citrine Boom, Rainbow Boom.
How and When: The new emote is available via the Tacticians Stand United mission that is released alongside Patch 13.11. It’s a pretty easy mission (no shade), simply play 2 games of TFT (standard queues), or play 1 game of Double Up! Just be sure to do so before June 30th! Check out the reward below!
Details Plz: As a reminder, equipping any of the Pengu Icons (shown above in the League of Legends section) will give your Tactician the correlating trail to swoop around on the Carousel with
Wild Rift:
What: Jubilant Colors can also be seen on the go with Wild Rift. Wild Rift’s getting two new icons and a new Graves emote that will be available alongside all past icons and emotes.
How and When: Pride wilds out on the mobile Rift, starting May 31st and ending June 29th, with two missions to show your support!
Details Plz: Here are the 2 missions of this event:
