This is League of Legends: Wild Rift, and it was just announced by developers Riot Games at a 10th anniversary celebration for League of Legends. Yes, it’s been around for a decade – feel old yet?

A new age of mobile gaming

League of Legends isn’t the only hugely popular game that’s making its way to mobile, either. Call of Duty saw a mobile port in October 2019 with a massive launch weekend, while stalwarts Fortnite and PUBG remian hugely popular on smartphone devices – with the new Fortnite Chapter 2 update set to continue that streak.

Even PC games have found a footing in the mobile world with classics like Rome: Total War, Tropico, FTL: Faster Than Light, Runescape and more all getting well-received mobile ports.

So it’s no surprise that League of Legends is finding its way to mobile – it’s still one of the biggest PC games, after all, even ten years after release. If League of Legends: Wild Fire is a success, we could see even similar games make their way to mobiles such as DOTA 2 and Heroes Of The Storm.
