Wild Rift is a special version of League of Legends that is appearing for the first time on Android and iOS. Later, it is also planned to be released for consoles. In some regions of the world, Wild Rift is already playable, but the release date for Europe has now been announced.
When will Wild Rift be released? From Germany, we can participate in the open beta starting December 10. This places Europe roughly in the middle of the regions. Some countries in Asia have already been able to test since July 2020, while others, including the USA, will have to wait until 2021.
With the start of the open beta, all players can download Wild Rift and have immediate access to all content, including:
- A map that closely resembles Summoners Rift
- The familiar modes, including Blind Pick, Draft Pick, a game against AI, and of course Ranked
- Over 40 champions that you already know from the original
- Regular updates to balance and new champions that will be added gradually
- Shorter rounds that are expected to last between 10 and 20 minutes
Wild Rift is a Free2Play game and follows a similar payment model as LoL itself. You will be able to purchase skins and champions; however, there will be no content in the shop that gives you an unfair advantage.
