Sources

All dates as Riot states them
Sources read 2026-09-25

Riot’s notes give no Wild Pass price or end date, no reward list per level beyond level 75’s Wild Stars, and no store price or rarity for these skins — so where the drawing has a value-per-cost score, skin prices, a confidence score and return-window forecasts, this page has the pass’s stated figures, the share of the timeline Riot dates and the skins its notes say return now. Roadmap exhibits A and D stay unnamed until Riot names them, and our reading of B and C is labelled as ours.
