Riot Games has released a new Wild Rift trailer titled Patch 7.3: Center Stage, giving players a fresh look at what is coming in the final major patch of the year.
What is in Patch 7.3?
There is a ton happening Wild Rift 7.3!
New Champion: Hwei!
Hwei is a brooding painter who creates brilliant art in order to confront Ionia's criminals and comfort their victims. Beneath his melancholy roils a torn, emotional mind—haunted by both the vibrant visions of his imagination and the gruesome memories of his temple's massacre. Hwei seeks to understand this light and dark, which drives him inevitably toward the artist who unraveled him. With paintbrush and palette, Hwei shapes endless possibilities as he draws ever closer to earning closure or embracing despair.

Season 23
Quote From Riot Games This season, we’re updating several systems to better recognize your individual performance, improve matchmaking, and support a healthier role ecosystem. These changes include updates to S/A ratings and MVP selection, the new Legendary Trial in Legendary Ranked, a rework of the Champion Score system, and a new Priority Role Bonus.
We’re also standardizing the Pick/Ban experience across higher ranks. Platinum through Diamond will now have five bans per team, up from three, and we’re removing the restriction that previously disabled five bans during the first two weeks of a new season. This should give teams more room to make strategic choices from the very start of the climb.
Ranked Season S23 begins on September 23, 2026 at 03:00 UTC and is expected to end in January 2027. Check the Ranked queue interface in-game for the exact season schedule.
New wild Pass
Quote From Riot Games The Wild Pass is getting an upgrade, with more rewards, more choice, and a fresh new look! The Pencil Sharpener Wild Pass arrives on September 22 at 00:00 UTC, featuring Pencil Sharpener Kog'Maw and Ascended Pencil Sharpener Kog'Maw.
More Updates
Quote From Riot Games CONTENT UPDATES
New personalization rewards are joining the Wild Pass, including the Super Pencil Sharpener Battle Ensign and the Ear to Ear emote.
You’ll now have more choice when it comes to your Wild Pass skin rewards. Select the current Wild Pass skin or choose from a selection of returning Wild Pass skins.
Returning Wild Pass skins: Dream Raider Thresh, Unleashed Dream Raider Thresh, Food Spirits Amumu, and Ascended Food Spirits Amumu.
Returning Mini Pass skins: Dragonslayer Kayle, Dragonslayer Kayle (Amber), Blackfrost Renekton, and Blackfrost Renekton (Purple).
Battlecast Urgot is also returning with its own Mini Pass skin track! This track shares level progress with the current Wild Pass, so leveling up will unlock rewards from both tracks at the same time.
Wild Star Reward Optimization
We’re making Wild Stars easier to earn. All Wild Stars will now be available within the first seventy-five Wild Pass levels, so you’ll no longer need to grind recurring rewards to collect them all.
We’re also increasing the total number of Wild Stars you can earn. Reaching Wild Pass level seventy-five will now grant a total of three hundred thirty Wild Stars, up from two hundred fifty. Reaching Mini Pass level fifty will grant one hundred forty Wild Stars, up from one hundred.
Purchasing the Wild Pass Elite will now immediately grant an additional two hundred Wild Stars.
Stellacorn’s Gift will now add two Wild Stars to your daily reward, while Celestial Blessing will add three Wild Stars.
Expired Wild Stars will now automatically convert into five Condensed Ore instead of one Blue Mote.
Collection System and Wild Pass Emporium Revamp
The Wild Pass Emporium will be removed with this update.
Personalization rewards can now be redeemed directly through the Set Redemption window.
Battle Ensigns will now be available through Wild Star redemption for four hundred fifty-five Wild Stars, instead of being acquired through loot.
Battle Ensigns will also be removed from the Trove.
New Wild Star Spending Milestones
Spending Wild Stars will now unlock personalization rewards at certain milestones. Personalization items that were previously available outside of sets in the Wild Pass Emporium will now be earned based on your total Wild Stars spent.
Full UI Refresh
The Wild Pass is getting a fresh new look! We’ve updated the interface to make it easier to navigate, give you a clearer view of your rewards, and added a few quality-of-life improvements along the way.
Reward Level Adjustments
We’ve swapped the positions of the Wild Pass skin and Random Skin Chest. The Wild Pass skin will now unlock immediately at level one when you purchase the Advanced Pass or higher, while the Random Skin Chest will move to level twenty.
Reindeer Mini Pass
Once the Pencil Sharpener Wild Pass wraps up, the Reindeer Mini Pass arrives on December 3, featuring the all-new Reindeer Smolder and Reindeer Smolder (Pink).
The Mini Pass will have its own level progression, exclusive rewards, and missions, tailored specifically to the shorter Mini Pass period.
Wild Stars can be used across both the Wild Pass and Mini Pass while they’re active. Any unused Wild Stars will be automatically reclaimed after the Mini Pass ends, so be sure to spend them before time runs out.
