The leak points to audio assets and skins that are scheduled for testing on the Public Beta Environment in the coming weeks. Riot Games has not issued a confirmation.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\/DA has not released major new content since the All Out cycle, which expanded the group to include Seraphine alongside Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai\u2019Sa. The company shifted promotional focus to other projects earlier in 2026, and the project was quiet for several months prior to the current leak.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaked files reportedly include an original music track and a set of themed champion skins planned for Season 3. A January 2026 promotional post from the official League of Legends Brazil account displayed images recalling past K\/DA campaigns; those posts and the recent leak have been referenced together by players discussing a potential return. The leak does not list which champions would receive the new skins.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past K\/DA releases were accompanied by music singles, cinematic music videos, updated splash art, in-game events and merchandise or crossover content in other Riot titles such as Teamfight Tactics and Wild Rift. The current leak references elements consistent with those prior multi-channel releases.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No official schedule, champion roster or release date has been confirmed by Riot. Leaked plans for live-service content can change before public testing or release, and the company has not commented on the purported Season 3 material.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaked material indicates K\/DA will return in Season 3 of 2026 with new music and a skin collection;
