What will change in the game in the new year
In 2025, League of Legends will transition to a new season structure, featuring three thematic seasons, each lasting 16 weeks. The first season focuses on Noxus, which will be reflected in the visual style of the map, new game mechanics, and unique items inspired by this region.
A key game update will be the introduction of a new epic jungle monster — Atakhan. It will appear in the 20th minute of the match in different forms depending on the situation on the map, providing teams with special bonuses. This element will add more tactical depth and opportunities to turn the game around.
Riot Games will also continue to improve the ranked system. New systems for analyzing matches are planned to help players better understand their weaknesses and improve. Additionally, changes in the ranked reward system are expected to make them more diverse and valuable.
What awaits players in the future?
Besides gameplay changes, many new champions, skins, and themed events related to the seasons are expected throughout the year. Developers promise a closer link between the game's lore and in-game events, to make the gameplay even more engaging.
Riot Games' plans for 2025 highlight a commitment to improving both the quality of the game and the overall player experience. The new season promises to be rich with events, innovations, and exciting moments!
