Recently, Riot Games released a developer update video for League of Legends: Wild Rift that touches on changes to the game’s patch cadence and new content to come in 2023. In the video, Associate Game Director David “PapaSmoothie” Xu walks through the following:
We’ll be going from six patches a year to five patches.
No content will be lost, patches will last a little longer with more content in them.
We gave a Wild Rift game dev crash course, highlighting how the new patch schedule will enable the team to produce the best possible builds every single patch.
In 2023, you should still expect a champion moment, every single month.
Looking to do more updates to champions, similar to our Karma rework!
We’re still going to be looking at roles as a whole in 2023, with a focus on marksman champions and assassins.
Ideation for the big gameplay update in 2023 is still in the works, but we’re looking to bring more variety game-to-game. While we’re still brainstorming, we can share that things are about to get chilly soon…
We’ll be looking to bring the chaos factor to all our current and upcoming game modes. You’ll get a taste of this soon in Ultimate Spellbook.
Lastly, we wanted to let players in on a guessing game we play on the dev team as a teaser for an upcoming skin. Who do you think it is?
You can get in on the action while they continue to improve the game and bring fresh content to it as League of Legends: Wild Rift is available now for free on Mobile via Android and iOS.
