Riot Games Reveals New Game Mode for League of Legends
If you’ve been wanting something different in League of Legends, you’re not alone. Many players have been asking for new game modes, and now Riot Games is finally providing more information on a highly anticipated mode that has been in development.
League’s upcoming 2v2v2v2 deathmatch game mode will be released during the 2023 summer event, according to lead gameplay producer Ryan “Reav3” Mireles. This mode will introduce a lot of new mechanics and features that will be enjoyable and challenging for both casual and high-level players.
Furthermore, the new mode will not take place on Summoner’s Rift or any previous maps. Riot has confirmed that a new map is being created specifically for this mode and has shared a few concept art pieces that give a glimpse of what the deathmatch arena could look like.
One of the art pieces suggests that the map will likely be circular, with each team starting in their own designated areas. The center of the map will feature multiple structures where teams can clash with each other.
The art also shows bodies of water and bushes scattered in specific areas, indicating that teams can use these elements strategically for outplays and surprise attacks. These different map elements will add more variety to the gameplay and interactions with different champion combinations.
This deathmatch mode will be unlike any other game mode in League of Legends, as players will only be able to buy items, gain levels, and equip special Augments in between combat rounds. The mode draws inspiration from Teamfight Tactics’ duo mode Double Up, where players can immediately jump into another game after being eliminated.
Stay tuned for more updates on League of Legends’ exciting new game mode!
