Did we get a glympse of a Shyvana VGU in the trailer for Wild Rift?

Sorry for the repost, but I prematurely deleted the last post when I thought that I was mistaken, but after looking at it again I do think that I'm right here.

So after seeing the trailer for Wild Rift I noticed that Shyvana has one of these special animations and I don't recognize the skin from any of her current skins. In fact I originally didn't realize it was Shyvana, cause she looked more like Syndra at first and she only appears very briefly between Assassin Yi and Mafia Braum. https://youtu.be/9PhS78TLPuk?t=88

And looking at it again, made me realize that it actually looks quite different from her current look, her gauntlets look huge and seem to be equipped with distinct claws and her bodyshape also looks slightly different. So I think this actually depicts Shyvanas VGU design for her darkflame skin.

Someone else pointed out that this looks like Super Galaxy Shyvana, but so far there is no purple Super galaxy shyvana chroma and there are a ton of details different about this skin and the super galaxy skin(the hair and armor are completel different and she lacks the visor).

Overall the differences seem a little bit too big for me to be just the "updated version" of an existing skin as there are some clear design differences. I doubt its a new skin since Shyvana is pretty high on the VGU list.

Also a Shyvana rework is at this point basically confirmed. Just because Fiddle and Voli are next doesn't mean that they aren't working on any others and they emphasized how Shyvana won the VGU poll in some countries.

No, it's not. They said they had to rebuild the game from the ground up for Wild Rift, so none of the champions are the ancient models from the normal game. They polished her up, and very likely exaggerated the size of her gauntlets and claws since the game is designed for a much much smaller screen than a PC monitor so she would be distinctly recognizable.

Super Galaxy is purple and pink.. it's just the lighting in the shot they used https://www.mobafire.com/images/champion/skins/landscape/shyvana-super-galaxy.jpg it still looks very similar. Either that or it was darkflame with a little enhancements but looks more Super Galaxy to me.

But it was also said during the stream older champions have cleaner looks in this game. You can see this when looking at Jax as he look so much better here than he does in LoL. So there's going to be some smaller differences that make the appearance in designs on Shy different as well.

Shyvana isn't due to get a VGU until after Fiddlesticks and Volibear. That's still a ways off. Sometime during the preview, we saw Shyvana already having the same kit. This might be a mobile exclusive skin.

Looks awful, better hope they dont make Shyvana look like some power ranger.

Considering they haven't started working on shyv, the answer to your question is no.

This is League of Legends on mobile. That's why it looks different.

Yes, that's her darkflame skin. She shows up with her base skin in the bottom right at 1:06 and her base skin is displayed in other trailors. Shyvana
