League of Legends: Will Aurelion Sol's CGU Be Delayed, Again?
Aurelion's Comprehensive Gameplay Update (CGU) is just around the corner, but with recent issues on the PBE players can't test out the changes just yet. Could this lead to the champion update getting delayed, similar to what is happening with Ahri's ASU?
Riot did not have a great start to 2023. Their initial hype trailer was anything but, fans have been upset with the state of the game and now they even got hacked, causing crucial code to be stolen and new content to be delayed. Will Aurelion Sol also be delayed though?
LoL: Aurelion Sol CGU Abilities Revealed - But Not Available On PBE Yet
The PBE for Patch 13.3 was supposed to go live on January 24, 2023, but because of a malicious cyberattack, it seems that new content, like the upcoming Heartache & Heartthrob skins has been delayed, as well as the Comprehensive Gameplay Update for Aurelion Sol.
Riot King Cobra did reveal detailed tooltips for the champion, so players know what to expect once the champion does make it to the PBE for intensive community testing. He also posted various videos of ASol in action, as well as his abilities and what they look like with his skins.
His ultimate with the Ashen Lord skin, when he's got all his stacks, just looks epic and makes it one of the best skins in the game, probably. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten any video footage of the Mecha Aurelion Sol skin just yet.

Will Aurelion Sol's CGU Be Delayed?
Whether the CGU will be delayed has not been revealed yet. Players are unable to test out his kit and thus far have only been able to give feedback on visuals such as the skins and the sound effects, but not on any actual gameplay or bugs that could occur with the changed kit.
This is crucial, since it's almost like Aurelion Sol is a brand-new champion with these updates. If players don't have access to the PBE soon to give feedback, then it might be that Riot will have to push back Aurelion Sol to LoL Patch 13.4.
