[/b]On Friday, Riot Games released a video detailing some of the things coming to the League of Legends universe in 2021. Among those announcements was a new update on League of Legends: Wild Rift — the new console and mobile version of the MOBA — including the fact that North American players will get their chance to test the game starting in March.

According to the announcement, Wild Rift will add an average of two new champions a month throughout 2021. The game will also get its own version of the PC version’s popular ARAM mode, which puts players on a random champion in a special one-lane map to battle it out. Wild Rift will also begin its first ranked season in 2021, and share many of the same special events that League of Legends proper will host, including the Lunar Beasts new year celebration.

Many regions around the world have already have the chance to check out Wild Rift, but it hasn’t made it to North America just yet. But, according to Riot, North America players will get their chance to check out the game during its open beta which should begin in March.

Once the beta goes live, players should be able to access the game from a variety of devices on both iOS and Android, though it’s not clear if the console versions will be available at that time or not.

And an earlier message regarding how ranked matches work in League of Legends Wild Rift can be found here:

“New players may be surprised to see that our ranked offering starts out with a draft mode, right from the very first game. We feel strongly that this sets expectations of what ranked play is in Wild Rift and provides a more consistently competitive experience throughout your ranked climb.

“Instead of position select, we’ve optimized our matchmaker to build teams with as wide a mix of preferred positions as possible.

"Behind the scenes, it’s constantly looking at where you play, and putting teams of different preferred positions together. We think getting into the game quickly is super important for Wild Rift, but if the matchmaking system isn’t performing up to snuff, we will make changes to hit the position and champion agency you expect.”

Here is the list of champions that will be added to the game with this event - Yordle Expedition :
