There may be quite a few jokes surrounding the League of Legends champ, and he may get banned quite often from Summoner's Rift — perhaps a trend that will happen even more frequently with the upcoming 10-ban system — but if nothing else, Yasuo get's some pretty impressive skins.

And recently on the League of Legends Latin America Facebook page, it looks like there's a teaser out that could indicate the impending release of a highly-anticipated skin for the Unforgiven swordsman, Demonblade Yasuo.

Recently, it was found in the PBE files that there were some skin assets added that certainly looked a lot like they could be Demonblade Yasuo and Angelblade Riven, both of which were skins that were expected to be released after a massive League of Legends leak hinted at a ton of upcoming content. The teaser that was released certainly looks like it could be Yasuo's headwear, but the animation on the actual site is quite brief, and there's not much that can be deciphered from it.

The translation of the text references a returning fire, and the fiery animation certainly reflects elements that would likely be included in a Demonblade skin.

Of course, it's not 100 percent confirmed yet, and there is some speculation as to exactly what it will be. In a Reddit thread where the teaser was linked, readers began speculating as to what the teaser might indicate.

One theory was that it might be a promotion for the LAN competitive scene. Many other theories circulated the teaser; some said that it somewhat resembled Leona's shield, some hoped that it would be a new Pentakill album from the League of Legends team. Not to be devoid of the usual memes, some also (half) jokingly suggested that the teaser indicated a new, fiery Ryze rework.

Out of all of the ideas, one of the most popular competitors to the Demonblade Yasuo speculation was that it could indicate the upcoming Urgot rework. Players have been talking about it for quite some time now, and though it doesn't look much like the crabby champion, the big leak mentioned previously said that the reimagined Urgot would have a furnace-like stomach that he'd pull enemies into, hence the fire and metal from the teaser.

If you haven't been following the list of leaked content to this point, quite a few of the talked-about developments have already been released:

Upcoming skins:

  • Cosmic Reaver Master Yi
  • Pulsefire Caitlyn
  • Star Guardian Ezreal

  • Star Guardian Syndra

  • Darkstar Kha'Zix
  • Darkstar Orianna
  • Angelblade Riven

  • Demonblade Yasuo

  • Omegasquad Veigar

  • Omegasquad Fizz

  • Omegasquad Twitch

Reworks:

  • Maokai

  • Urgot

  • Evelynn

  • Zac

New Champions [in early development]:

  • The Harpy and The Phoenix (Xayah and Rakan)

Many of these have already been taken care of, so there's a good indication the rest will be crossed off sometime soon. The teaser has a date of May 29 listed at the end, so more information may come then.
