Nocturne is a champ that need everything. A new lore, a visual update and a gameplay update.

First lore: Nocturne is a nightmare but where he beyond? Void or shadow isles? Now Nocutrne is just a ghost without really deep background, a nightmare that gets bound to the nexus and gos his own way their. They are still summoners in the lore. I think giving a spot in the void or the shadow isles based on other designs would make him more interessting. Same with his gameplay kit: His ult is very nice, but the others spells are in a very bad condition. His passiv is just an ampowered auto-attack + heal (example fiora passiv) , his q just makes him stronger chasing enemy over long time ( is that an assain? chasing over long time? .... like W but needs hit a skill shot on low range), his W is a spell shield like sivir but the reward of attack speed is not worth for the long channel time. His E is a fear casted on 1 enemy , WW is able to terrify all enemies around him without cast time and gives him dmg resitance. And finally to his Visual, Nocturne is not a nightmare ( based on lore, maybe just a nightmare for all visual designers) he is a old ghost that likes chasing enemies but isn'T able to ouplay them, because his kit just allow him direct 1 vs 1 without a good burst.

Nocturne is essentially a demon of nightmares and would not fit into the Void or the Shadow Isles. Instead, he has no specific home and just wonders Runeterra (though we know Lux encountered him in Demacia). However, I'm pretty sure Riot does want to rework him eventually; though it won't be anytime soon cause Urgot is the next VGU and then Evelynn is after that.

Nocturne doesn't seem to be among the top candidates for a VGU. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/yghB24Gs-now-urgot-and-eve-will-get-their-long-awaited-vgus-can-we-have-more-info-about-other-candidates?comment=0004

Though we should keep in mind that these are only the top candidates,Nocturne might be among the Tier2-candidates for a VGU(and the Tier2-ones have a small chance to get their VGU before a Tier1-champ) and the list is already quite old,it is possible that some champs were added to it over time(Fiddle for example was confirmed to be now a Tier1-candidate)

Nocturne does get a brief mention in For Demacia, though not by name. (it was confirmed to be Nocturne in an outside post)
