Season 11 has been off to a great start for League of Legends with the return of ranked, LCS, and Viego the Ruined King making his in-game debut. But players who have been waiting weeks for a new event since Battle Queens ended can finally rejoice at today's announcement. From February 4th to March 8th, everyone can participate in Lunar Beast 2021 for unique rewards.

Lunar Beast is the newest skinline to come from the annual Lunar Revel festival, with this year celebrating the Year of the Ox. Besides the standard missions and collecting enough tokens to exchange for prizes, this event brings back the April Fools game mode ARURF which is a favorite of the community. Since this is also the only chance to earn cosmetics for the Lunar Beast and Crystal Rose skinlines, players will have plenty of reasons to play matches for the next month.
