Radical Changes for League of Legends Prior to Arcane’s Sequel Release

League of Legends has been popular since 2009, leading fans to frequently inquire about a potential sequel. However, Riot Games has stated clearly that they have no plans for a League of Legends 2. Instead, the studio is planning significant changes to the existing game before the release of Arcane’s sequel.

In a recent social media video, Paul Bellezza (in charge of the game) and studio boss Andrei Van Roon outlined the League of Legends team’s plans for the game over the next few years. They are committed to ongoing improvements, promising new modes, updated champions, and consistent bi-weekly balancing adjustments. Riot’s plans extend beyond these regular updates. Van Roon stated that they are working on a substantial update to League of Legends, as certain changes are more effective when implemented together. While specific details are limited, Riot has indicated that changes are expected to begin rolling out from 2027 onward.

Van Roon stated that Riot is developing a new game client that will be integrated with the gameplay experience. In addition, Riot intends to revamp Summoner’s Rift with updated graphics and refined gameplay elements. Riot is also developing changes to Runes and pre-game player setups. Bellezza mentioned an improved onboarding experience for new players, suggesting that the updates will present an ideal opportunity to invite friends to try League of Legends. He added that more details will be shared over time, and Riot will continue its regular game updates. The team concluded by thanking players for their passion and support, expressing hope that these changes will please longtime fans and encourage those who left after the first season of Arcane to return.
