For those who doubt/don't know about it, here is why it is confirmed to happen.

That meant that a smaller update for Xin made sense, given there's definite improvement possible working within most of the constraints of the current kit and a VGU's at least 1.5 years away.

Meddler on 20 July. Even the mini rework's designer agreed that he is bound to get full VGU and he too would like horse added to him, so Xin players, patience, and he will come eventually! Right now VGU is being 60-40 it seems, so things gonna progress faster and better next year.

and this is just an idea, becuase even Meddler can't say what is the next Vgu after irelia, because there are just some thoughts like nunu, voli, morde, xin , kayle , morgana and so on are on the list, but which goes in prodcution is a thing that depends on the team

but in september he said ''And lastly, it’s worth noting that he’s received a number of new animations, sound effects, visual effects, and even icons. The overall scope of this update wasn’t the same as a full-blown VGU like Warwick, for example, but we did take this opportunity to improve the quality of a lot of his visuals and sounds.'' and together with the model update he had earlier it is basically a visual update

He already got a gameplay update. There would no reason for him to get another one and Riot doesn't do "just Visual updates anymore". He might get a lore update and quite frankly he likely could use one of those, but a full on VGU is about as likely as a Riven Rework.

Bah. Hearing Xin Zhao may become mounted makes me even more furious I will never get his Winged Hussar skin.
