- When Does League of Legends: Wild Rift Come Out?

During the 10 Year Anniversary event for League of Legends, it was announced that one of the most popular games of all time would be coming to Mobile and Console. This has been something that people have been asking for, for many years and it seems as though the wait will be over sooner than many think. When the trailer was shown, it seemed as though the game was already far along. With that comes the question of when will it be officially coming out?

Riot has yet to reveal an official release date for any version of Wild Rift, though all of them are expected to come out sometime in 2020. The mobile versions, for iOS and Android, are expected to arrive first, in the early months of the year. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One — and possibly Nintendo Switch — will get Wild Rift later on in 2020.

The developers are keen to stress that Wild Rift is not a direct port of League of Legends on PC, despite sharing very similar 5v5 MOBA gameplay. A press release really explains that Wild Rift is "a new game built from scratch to ensure it is a polished, legitimate LoL experience that's worth players' time.

You can sign up for the open beta now on the Wild Rift website. The first tests will begin in China, but they will expand to other regions soon. This alternative version of League of Legends is getting full support from Riot. It has a ranked mode, and the studio is promising that it is always free-to-play with no pay-to-win mechanics. And PC LOL players will get bonuses for picking up the game on another platform.

League of Legends could be ported almost directly to mobile platforms, but it would be pretty tough to play, especially for long matches. For some insight into what changes Riot Games may make to create a more mobile-friendly MOBA, you could look at its sister game Arena of Valor: it retains the same MOBA fundamentals while cutting down match length and complexity.
