It looks like League of Legends fans who plan on attending the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) will definitely have something to look forward to, as Riot Games, developer of League of Legends, has announced that they will be at PAX with a playable copy of their game for all of the general public to try. In addition to this, Riot Games is also providing the first 20,000 PAX attendees with a special in-game redeemable code that allows them access to a limited edition champion skin designed by Penny Arcade (pictured right). Finally, all attendees who visit the Riot Games booth or play their demo will also receive a beta key to play in the League of Legends closed beta. If you find that you just can't attend PAX, but you really want to pick up a beta key, remember that Riot Games is giving away 50 beta keys every Friday via Facebook for anyone who becomes a fan of League of Legends. Barring that, you can also purchase the League of Legends Digital Collector's Pack via their website and receive instant Beta access in addition to a plethora of awesome stuff.

Marc Merrill, Co-Founder and President of Riot Games notes that "Riot has deep roots in the game and mod community, and fan feedback has influenced every aspect of League of Legends development. As an event devoted to celebrating the fans and culture of games, PAX is the perfect place for us to give to many players their first hands-on experience with League of Legends and we look forward to having a ton of fun with the gamers who make the pilgrimage up to Seattle."
