Plans for League after 2026: New Client, Visual Upgrade, and more!

Overview

League of Legends is set for a major update in 2027. Some information was leaked over the weekend, which forced Riot to step up and announce a little bit of what you can expect in the future. While League of Legends 2 will not happen, the updates may amount to something similar:

  • A brand new around-game client that’s fully integrated with the in-game experience

    • This will be like how VALORANT launches immediately as a single piece of cohesive software

  • A full visual overhaul of Summoner’s Rift

  • Gameplay changes tied to that visual update

  • Some changes to Runes and pre-game systems

  • An improved new player experience

They'll share more information between MSI and Worlds, but you can expect this to be one of the largest changes to League of Legends as a whole in years.
