LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WILDRIFT

If you’ve already read some of our previous issues, you might probably know that I am a huge MOBA nut. So it comes to no surprise that one of my most anticipated games for the year is League of Legends: Wild Rift, the official mobile version of Riot Games’ beloved MOBA.

League of Legends: Wild Rift was first announced in October last year and first came out (via Alpha testing) last June. But before you go gung ho to download the game, note that Wild Rift is still on its Beta Testing and certain features will be different when the game officially launches globally either late this year or early next year.

TAKING LEAGUE OF LEGENDS TO MOBILE AND CONSOLES

When Riot Games announced Wild Rift, they also announced their aspiration for the game. That it be League of Legends but just on mobile devices (soon on consoles), and they have succeeded.

League of Legends players will feel at home on this brand-new game. Champions from League were ported over with a couple of changes, yet they remain true to their original playstyle and purpose. The map is also similar to the original Summer Rift with the same Jungle creeps and Baron and the elemental Drakes on each side of the river.

As of writing, there are 47 League of Legends champs ported over to Wild Rift. But Riot has already announced that they are slowly adding more in the future.
