Just ahead of Worlds 2023, Riot Games unveiled a new product called Worlds Unlocked which is designed to allow League of Legends Esports’ (LoL Esports) most avid fans to represent their fandom during Worlds 2023. In April 2023, Riot Games made it clear that it will be going all-in on esports and said it is committed to building incredible esports and entertainment experiences for players and fans.
At the heart of this is its newest product Worlds Unlocked 2023 which is in essence an exclusive virtual pass. This bundle captures the spirit of Worlds 2023 with exclusive physical and digital items for fans to enjoy.
Riot Games said, "From physical keepsakes to Worlds skins and emotes, the bundle of items within Worlds Unlocked provides substantial value to fans."
There are two editions of Worlds Unlocked 2023 and they are the Collector's Edition and the Digital Edition. In this article, we will take a closer look at the Worlds Unlocked Collector's Edition 2023.
