We obtained some biiiig information immediately for League of Legends gamers.
A report from Bloomberg has all-but confirmed that Riot is engaged on an enormous overhaul of League of Legends. Beforehand known as League of Legends 2, the venture is now being internally known as League Subsequent.
And it may very well be right here as early as 2027.
What does League Subsequent imply for Wild Rift?
In Bloomberg’s report, 5 previous and current Riot workers informed reporter Cecilia D’Anastasio that League of Legends was getting an enormous replace to its visuals and expertise.
League of Legends gamers have been complaining for fairly a while concerning the sport’s cruddy, previous infrastructure, so this makes quite a lot of sense. Thus far, we count on to see a recent new look to the arenas and champions, though nothing was talked about on the subject of gameplay and equipment designs. This is not actually an replace for esports gamers, however newcomers who wish to see a recent, new look.
Wild Rift wasn’t talked about within the Bloomberg report, however I would not be shocked if the cellular model of the MOBA acquired a visible overhaul as nicely.
Riot makes the majority of its League of Legends cash via cosmetics and different in-game purchases. Giving the champions new appears and new cosmetics makes quite a lot of sense. And why not carry the identical adjustments over to Wild Rift for an opportunity at much more new gamers and purchases on cellular?
Wild Rift at the moment has over 50M downloads on Google Play and 6.7M downloads on Apple Play. Tapping into this large playerbase with refreshed appears and new cosmetics would not appear to be a nasty concept.
Similar to League of Legends, Wild Rift has seen a declining participant depend during the last yr. As of late 2025, there are about 3.5 to three.7 million lively month-to-month customers. A model new feel and look may carry gamers again and get them to purchase extra cosmetics.
Or perhaps we’re simply coping as a result of we wish the replace too! C’mon Riot!
