Riot Games is bringing the heat with their newest April Fools skin line for League of Legends. The "GLIZZY OVERDRIVE" collection, featuring what appears to be hot dog-themed champion skins, is set to release on April 2, 2025, continuing the MOBA's tradition of lighthearted seasonal content.
GLIZZY OVERDRIVE: League's Newest April Fools Skin Line
The League of Legends team announced their upcoming April Fools content through their official X/Twitter account on March 18, 2025. The announcement, accompanied by four vibrant promotional images, revealed that the "GLIZZY OVERDRIVE" skin line will hit the rift on April 2, 2025.
For those unfamiliar with internet slang, "glizzy" is a popular term for hot dogs, suggesting these skins will feature champions in hot dog-inspired outfits or themes, perfectly aligning with Riot's history of playful April Fools content.
A Closer Look at the New Skins
The announcement showcased four distinct promotional images, each highlighting what appears to be a different champion getting the GLIZZY treatment. While Riot hasn't officially confirmed which champions are featured, the images give players a good idea of what to expect from this humorous collection.
Each skin seems to incorporate hot dog elements in creative ways, from condiment-colored abilities to bun-inspired outfits. This continues League of Legends' tradition of transforming their champions into unexpected and comedic alternate versions for their April Fools events.
When Will GLIZZY OVERDRIVE Hit the Rift?
According to the official announcement, players can expect to purchase and play with these new skins starting April 2, 2025. This timing gives players the chance to enjoy the April Fools content right as the celebration begins.
The announcement comes approximately two weeks before the actual release, giving fans time to speculate about which champions are receiving the GLIZZY treatment and save up their RP for the collection.
Continuing a Beloved Tradition
April Fools has become a highly anticipated annual event in the League community, with Riot consistently delivering memorable skin lines that break from the game's typically more serious aesthetic. Past April Fools collections have included themes like cats and dogs, fast food, and even office supplies.
The GLIZZY OVERDRIVE line appears to continue this tradition of unexpected and humorous transformations that give players a chance to showcase their playful side on the battlefield.
What Makes April Fools Content Special in League?
Unlike some of the game's more epic or dramatic skin lines, April Fools content allows Riot's creative team to explore more lighthearted and absurd concepts. These skins often feature unique animations, sound effects, and recall animations that lean heavily into the comedic theme.
While pricing details haven't been released yet, April Fools skins typically follow standard League pricing tiers based on the amount of new features and effects included with each skin.
