The top laner Mordekaiser will be the next champion receiving an Exalted skin. We can expect a totally different appearance from him.
The developer's last update informed us that Mordekaiser will be the next champion to receive an Exalted skin, but didn't confirm when. Now, we know. According to the League of Legends Leaks, this skin is coming alongside the patch 25.S1.5 on March 5.
What will the skin look like?
His human form, Sahn-Uzal, will be his appearance according to the leaks. That might be the truth indeed since in the developer's update, they said: "Exalted skin of the Season, we do want to share that will be Mordekaiser.
For now, we'll leave you just with a little hint. He's going to be coming to the Rift in a way that Runeterra hasn't seen in like a bajillion years". So, who was Mordekaiser before having this dark magic appearance?

Mordekaiser: Between blood and ashes
There was nothing that Mordekaiser couldn't do but he was not always known by that name. His real name, Sahn-Uzal, represented a fierce warlord, driven by dark faith and a thirst for power.
As he got close to his death, he was sure his empire would let him to the gods' table, the glorious Hall of Bones, for all eternity. But that was not what Sahn-Uzal found out. He was in the middle of nothing, of emptiness and he felt angry, betrayed. He was not going to give up already.
Trying to change somehow his path, Mordekaiser learned a new tongue that any living human being knew of - the Ochnun. "He began to whisper temptations across the veil between realms, promising his indomitable strength to any who dared listen", as we can read from his biography.
One day, a coven brought Sahn-Uzal back from the dead to use him as a weapon. Instead of joining them, the warlord killed them all and stole all their magic knowledge and weapons. And just like that, he was reborn as Mordekaiser.
Mordekaiser started his quest to conquer the mortal world. He even forged a new weapon - the Nightfall - fit for a true empire of death. The warlord raised the Immortal Bastion at the center of his empire (further known as the Noxus empire), but that was not enough and the Noxian tribes wouldn't let him thrive much more. He was cast back out of the material realm but we suspect that was what he really wanted, to acquire all the dark magic hidden in the shadows.
He was born to be an emperor and he was already planning a new empire. Stronger, eternal, bound to his desires. Noxus was born as an empire and Mordekaiser’s name is still whispered in fear and awe by those who study the old histories. For them, his return is the scariest thing that could happen in Runeterra. If that ever happens, there is no one able to stop him.
New Mordekaiser Exalted skin release and price
Mordekaiser's skin is coming to League of Legends on patch 25.S1.5 which will be on March 5. As for the price, he will most likely follow the same pattern as the other two already-launched skins - Jinx and Sett. Each spark costs 400 RP, which could be up to 32,000 RP (around $250) for one Exalted Skin.
This category of skins depends on a gacha system which means you'll have to keep wasting sparks until you can get the skin. Each spark has a 0.5% chance to give you an Exalted Skin. You might get an S-tier item early, but you're guaranteed an Exalted item by the 80th spark.
