00:00Riot Games is gearing up for a massive League of Legends overhaul that'll revamp Summoner's
00:04Rift with entirely new visuals, integrate a new client into the game itself so it doesn't
00:08open from a separate launcher, add new gameplay elements and improve the new player experience.
00:12We're often asked if we're gonna make League of Legends 2 someday, and the answer to that has
00:16been and remains no, says League Executive Producer Paul Beleza in a video update confirming a
00:21Bloomberg report that was published shortly beforehand. We've always been committed to
00:25constantly improving and updating League, from new game modes and champion updates,
00:29to balancing the game every other week and so on. There are however some bigger updates coming to
00:33League in 2027 that the developers aren't ready to fully reveal, but Beleza and studio head Andre
00:38Van Roon touched on the broad strokes. The majority of the League team is now working on a larger bundle
00:43of changes coming to League in 2027, including a full overhaul of the map, a bit of new gameplay,
00:48a brand new around game client that's fully integrated with the in-game experience rather
00:52than being a separate application like today, there are also some changes to runes and how you make
00:56some free game choices. And finally, Riot is overhauling the new player experience so that
01:01once we're done, it should be the best time ever to get your friends into League.
01:04Van Roon admits there's a bit more to the big update than is being shared,
01:07and Bloomberg reports it's the game's biggest update in its 16-year history.
01:11It will reportedly also include reworked character models and UI,
01:14and make back-end improvements to make it easier to release updates,
01:17but those details have yet to be confirmed.
