I've been waiting for Ezreal's for quite a awhile mind you. Yet everyone is getting theirs now and they still haven't. What is stopping you? They should definitely be done by now. Right?

Best case: After this years Harrowing. Worst case: Soon™

We've got a tweet from the Narrative Lead himself!

So yeah, Not too long after Harrowing. Hopefully.

Post Harrowing.

No literally that's it. Once Harrowing's done and Mordekaiser, Kalista, Hecarim, Thresh and Karthus get their extended lores it'll be time for the Shurima champions. It'll let them have their own time in the spotlight and not be obscured by a night of living terrors I guess.

Dunno what they're gonna do about Sion, Bard, Tristana, Tahm Kench, Ekko and Rek'Sai, though I'd imagine they'd try and put those out after that, depending on when they are finished up.

ezreal isn't a shurima champion is he? Unless he got changed to shurima after the lore retcon he's always been from piltover.

He was one who got a lore change with the shurima champions.

No it's the fact that his lore got updated when the Shurima stuff came in. He's still from Piltover, he still got his powerful necklace magical doodad from Shurima as he did in the old lore, but said amulet now belonged to an Ascended. Which Ascended? Fuck if I know, we've only seen four of them, and only two were from the truly ancient Shurima.

He and Cassiopeia are folks from outside Shurima with interests and backstories directly tied to Shurima, that's why this is a thing for them.

Currently they focus on the harrowing and want the lores of the shadow isles champs to be ready.

The Shurima bios will be looked on after that(together with the other lores),while they had already longer bios ready (like azirs&xeraths which are already on their champion sites),their lore format changed yet again,the champs now have their short intro,then an extended intro and then a new story piece,so the shurima lores will need to be adjusted to that format before they'll be released.
