Riot Games plans large-scale changes in League of Legends in 2026. Insider WRUzbeks claims to have received information about this from a source connected to Tencent. He shared the information on the social network X.

What to expect in League of Legends?

WRUzbeks stated that in 2026, League of Legends will receive a new map and launcher. It is still unclear whether this will be a visual update or a complete rework. Official announcements should appear in October. However, the insider notes that Riot Games is investigating leaks and restricting access to information, so he cannot disclose the source.

What else?

He also shared information that in October 2025, development will begin on a new action-RPG with character collection mechanics. The project is compared to Genshin Impact. In addition, an update to the map in Wild Rift is expected in 2026.

Despite WRUzbeks' confidence in the authenticity of the data, leaks are always unconfirmed information. Until an official announcement is made, the company's plans may change. We can only wait for teasers from Riot Games.
