Rumor: New Map and Major Updates Coming to League of Legends?
A fairly reliable insider, WR Uzbeks, reports that Riot Games has big plans in development for League of Legends. According to him, the following updates are expected:
- LoL PC – New Map and Launcher, 2026.
- LoL: Wild Rift – Map Update in 2026.
- New Game – Open World MMO RPG (similar to Genshin Impact) – Development Launch: October 2025.
Although this information didn’t come from an official Tencent source, Tencent rarely makes empty claims, especially on this scale. And WR Uzbeks himself is considered a fairly credible insider — he mentioned the ARAM update long before the closed presentation was announced.
It’s likely that alongside the new map, we’ll also see a new engine with improved graphics, but that’s just a guess without supporting information. Still, it would be great if these rumors turn out to be true — so let’s wait for the official announcement from Riot Games.
