Today, Riot Games delighted League of Legends fans with an exciting teaser for the new season, and the most intriguing part concerns the Arena! Yes, you heard it right, the beloved mode is returning, and this time it will feature a brutal and dark Noxus style! Prepare for new challenges, bloody battles, and powerful champions, as the second act brings us the Noxus Arena, and it's going to be something grand.

With the release of the new patch, the developers decided to diversify the gameplay by adding a new additional mode in each act of the season. Already in the first act, we can expect the return of the legendary All Random URF (ARURF), which will be available throughout the first act.

But the most important part begins in the second act — Arena returns! However, it will now be completely reimagined with a Noxian theme. A new map, decorated in the spirit of Noxus, will create the feeling of a real gladiatorial battle, where you are a participant in a brutal tournament, and the walls are soaked with the blood of past champions.

Guests of Honor: choosing a Noxian hero

In addition to the new map, the Arena will feature a new system called Guests of Honor. This is a sort of selection of the game's honorary guest. Before the start of the match, players can vote for one of the Noxian heroes who will oversee their battles.

Interestingly, each guest will add their unique charm and influence to the fight! Maybe you'd like Katarina to watch over your game, adding more chaos to the match? Or choose Darius to make each victory feel even more significant? This choice will certainly be important and will add variety to the gameplay.

New items and features in the Arena

Of course, the Arena will also see new items that we can use during battles. So far, details about these changes are kept secret, but the developers promised to share more specific information closer to the release of the second act.

When to expect the second act and the Noxian Arena?

According to the update schedule, the second act of the first season will begin on April 29, 2025, with the release of patch 25.C2.1. This means that ARURF will start with the next patch, and just a few weeks later, the long-awaited return of the Arena awaits us!

Stay tuned for news to keep up with all updates. And if you missed information about the new champion — Mel, who will soon appear in the game, be sure to read our article at this link.
