League of Legends (often shortened to LoL) is one of the most popular games on the planet, never mind in the multiplayer online battle arena genre.

Released back in 2009, this free to play game quickly earned a huge fanbase, with esport events popping up across the globe. Today it has over two million players (not to mention a hit Netflix adaptation).

And then, in 2020, came the Wild Rift, a mobile game spin-off that is widely liked as far as we can tell. And today, the Wild Rift developers have shared some information about their planned patch schedule going forward.

Curious about this patch information? We'll share everything we know about it below.

LoL Wild Rift patch schedule explained

We'll quote the man himself David Xu here, who outlined the following information – on the game's official website – regarding the future of Wild Rift:

  • 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, explaining how longer patches will help us deliver you all bigger and better content.
  • 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 marksmen 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 in Ultimate Spellbook, let us know what ya think!
