Riot Games Plans for League of Legends Update in 2027

Riot Games, the developer behind the popular game League of Legends, has announced they’re preparing one of the most significant updates the game has ever witnessed. It is planned for release in 2027. The company released some information about this news in a recent Dev Update. Part of the update includes a new League of Legends client. This new version of the game will be known as ‘League Next’, according to the company.

League Next doesn’t just come with a new client. Players will also witness large updates to the game, which will transform the gaming experience radically. One such update is a complete renovation of the Summoner’s Rift map. As a result, players will have an experience that is akin to playing a brand-new version of the game. In essence, the updates will make the game feel like the much-anticipated League of Legends 2.0.
