Wild Rift is a completely separate game from the PC version of League of Legends, retaining much of the broader gameplay of the game but reworking characters and more specific elements. That said, it’s still effectively League of Legends in every way that matters. It’s just been optimized so that it feels good to play with fingers on a mobile device instead of a keyboard and mouse on a PC. It’ll also feature on a portion of the content available in League of Legends on PC, launching with just 50 different playable champions.

For the past several months, Riot and its partners have been rolling out a beta version of League of Legends: Wild Rift in various countries across the world. It has yet to arrive in the United States, however. As such, it’s unclear whether March’s rollout of League of Legends: Wild Rift will be a continuation of its international beta or a full release of the game. Regardless, Riot plans to make plenty of content available to players immediately.
There’s a lot of news remaining to be revealed for League of Legends: Wild Rift, so excited fans should stay attentive. Some more specific planned reveals include up to two new champions released every month after launch. Katarina, Rammus, and Dr. Mundo are examples. ARAM is also going to be coming to the game, as is League of Legends: Wild Rift’s first ranked season. Expect more news, soon.
