Are we still getting a lore update for the remaining Noxian champions?

It's been some time since Swain was VGU'd, and Darius, LeBlanc and Katarina had their lore updated with him.

However, there are still several Noxian champions waiting to have their non-canon background information replaced. Riven got an update (sort of) when her and Yasuo's story was released, but champions like Draven and Talon just exist in a state of limbo.

The worst offenders for this are Sion (who's an incredibly impactful Noxian champion but seems out of date) and Vladimir (who has nothing known about him and is as relevant in the lore as Malphite is). Can we please update them, too?

"We're actually going to have more time for Noxus throughout the year as we do more faction updates moving forward. While this update may have been smaller overall, we're aiming to increase the quantity of lore beats in 2018. You wont have to wait a year for more lore beats like (the Noxus update) this.

I can't say right now if we're going to end up getting to Talon, Riven, or anyone else specifically (too early, honestly), but you won't have to wait a year for more lore beats like this.

This was mentioned back with Swain's re-release. I don't think it's a hard confirmation there will be a follow up Noxus LU but it definitely implies there could.

Although I cant imagine there will be time between reworks and new champs to do a Part 2, but Riot might just shove some more Noxus lore in between another ongoing lore event like they did the map update during Akali's.

Any Rioter willing to show up and drop a tiny, teeny bit of Vlad lore to help his fans engage with the universe?

It would mean the world to us.

Since there is no list of what they are doing its possible!

Draven is just Darius' brother for lore sakes. As an individual character he doesn't really need to be developed I feel and the bio and comic we got for Darius (their upbringing in Basilich and everything that happened after) develops Draven by proxy because he is related to Darius

They said awhile ago that they're working on Vladimir's lore, that was at least a couple months ago... Still waiting... Still waiting.

Well they did state that they wanna come back to Noxus this year,so I guess they might have a standalone lore update in the works for a noxian champ(or one of the 2 upcoming champs is from noxus,though the colorful mage sounds too whimsical for me to fit into noxus and the chains looked too fancy for Noxus,so i doubt that).
