The latest League of Legends patch came with a double serving of skins. The long-awaited Crime City Nightmare family was joined by the unexpected release of three additional Phoeni skins.

It's an atypical premiere, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of League of Legends in China. 

A cool cinematic exclusive to the new skins

Riot has launched the Phoenix skins around the world, but has not made a secret that it aims to go a little further for this anniversary in China. 

To do so, they have released a spectacular cinematic for the Phoenix skins, which you can see below.

In the video, Xayah and Seraphine collaborate to defeat a gigantic enemy. The animation consists of two action-packed minutes, culminating in a spectacular Anivia egg finally hatches, taking its place at the centerpiece of a skin line that explores the mythical figure of the phoenix and its meaning in Chinese culture.
