The convention is traditionally held annually on the first weekend of July, spanning four days. The 2022 edition of the Anime Expo will commence on July 1 and will run till July 7, featuring popular events such as Yoko Kanno’s music, Cosplay Senpai, Kodansha’s Wotakoi Celebration, and others.

The official teaser for the forthcoming League of Legends Star Guardian Event was unveiled by Riot Games a week ago. According to the one-minute anime-style teaser, players can expect the next in-game event to begin on July 14.

The Anime Expo-inspired teaser, titled “Return to Valoran City,” has a typical anime design with bright hues and sakura flowers that could be hinting at Star Guardian skins of Ahri, Rakan, Xayah, and Jinx. It could further allude to the upcoming Akali, Rell, Sona, and Kai’Sa skins.
