Welcome to the ultimate battle of the summer, summoners.
Riot Games has introduced a brand new Arena game mode in League of Legends. This exciting mode features a deathmatch-style tournament where teams of two will compete in multiple rounds, with the last team standing taking the victory. The Arena game mode will be released in July, alongside the highly anticipated Soul Fighter summer event, which will also include the launch of 10 new skins.

The new game mode brings a lot of fresh gameplay elements for players who have been looking for a new experience in their favorite MOBA. These elements include Augments similar to Teamfight Tactics, four new miniature map variants, and in-game map hazards called Champion Cameos.
Champion Cameos are combat modifiers that are team-neutral and feature champions from the Soul Fighter skin line. These modifiers alter the flow of battle in various ways, offering players of all ranks a ton of fun. From full camouflage to dodging global Lux or Jhin ultimates, there’s plenty of excitement to be had.
