Riot Games Announces New Game Mode for League of Legends
Riot Games, the executive producer of League of Legends, Jeremy “Brightmoon” Lee, and the head of League Studio, Andrei “Meddler” van Roon, have addressed the concerns of players in a recent statement. They have revealed some exciting plans for the future of the game.
The most significant announcement made by Brightmoon and Meddler is the development of a new game mode. This mode is being worked on by a specialized team and is sure to please players who are looking for a fresh experience outside of the traditional Summoner’s Rift, Howling Abyss, or Teamfight Tactics boards.
This new game mode will feature four teams of two players competing in a series of intense deathmatch-like rounds. In between these rounds, players will have the opportunity to buy items and level up before battling again.
If development goes smoothly, Riot aims to release this game mode on live servers by summer 2023. However, in the meantime, the developers plan to share more details, teaser images, and concept art about the game mode in March.
The last major game mode introduced to League of Legends was Nexus Blitz in 2018. Since then, players have had to rotate between modes like ARURF and Ultimate Spellbook. This new game mode will bring a refreshing change for the community.
