Since its release on 2019-08-01, this Legendary tier skin has become a popular pick among players who want to make their Pyke stand out from the crowd.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes PROJECT Pyke worth your RP. At 1820 RP, you're getting a premium experience, likely with completely overhauled visuals, animations, and potentially voice work.

Here's what you get with PROJECT Pyke: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Pyke move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base ✓ A completely new voice that transforms the champion's personality

If one look isn't enough for you, PROJECT Pyke comes with 8 different chroma options. That means once you own the base skin, you can pick up these color variants to match your mood or your team comp. Some players collect them all, while others just grab their favorite color.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made PROJECT Pyke?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear PROJECT Pyke in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Darien Sills-Evans, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of Bo 'chenbowow' Chen, one of Riot's talented artists who really captured the essence of PROJECT Pyke.

The Story Behind PROJECT Pyke

An early PROJECT prototype, Pyke's untested upgrades left him violently unstable—too much so for his handlers, who junked him and threw his remains outside the walls of the City. Yet his cybernetic brain survived, rebuilding Pyke with salvaged scrap parts from all around him, and now their fragmented, overlapping memories mix with his own as they scream out for revenge.

Color Options: PROJECT Pyke Chromas

Can't decide on just one look? We don't blame you! PROJECT Pyke comes with 8 different chroma options that let you customize your favorite skin. Whether you want to match your team's color scheme or just feel like switching things up, these variants have got you covered without changing any of the awesome features of the base skin.
