Riot Games is launching League of Legends: Wild Rift on Android, iOS and consoles in 2020 -- along with a few other new games. Reports about a mobile game meant to expand LoL's reach in Asia started surfacing earlier this year -- now the developer has confirmed that it's been in the works for quite a while. The company says it took some time to announce Wild Rift, because it's not just a port of LoL for PC. Riot Games chose to rebuild "the whole game from scratch" to create a polished version for the devices it's coming to.
The upcoming multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) for mobile enables faster matches and features a dual-stick, thumb-friendly control scheme designed for the platforms it's for. You'll find that Riot mixed familiar elements with the new, though, including the use of a 5v5 map that's based on LoL's largest map Summoner's Rift. Wild Rift will also feature 40 characters from LoL's existing roster of champions, with more to follow in the future. And if you want to buy

Riot Games plans to launch the mobile version of the game "everywhere in the world by the end of 2020," followed by its console debut. It will be free to download and play, and the developer promises that you can earn all its champions without having to pay a cent -- you apparently never have to pay for anything if you don't want to.
While Riot Games haven’t provided a full launch schedule, they have provided a rough guide. League of Legends Wild Rift is to launch on mobile devices in 2020, with consoles set to follow at a later time. LoL Mobile: Wild Rift is also going to see a range of alpha and beta tests, some of them starting this year.
But Riot Games has also been honest with how they are putting together this new game, which is no mere PC port. The dev team has revealed that League of Legends Wild Rift will be released in 2020 on Android and iOS. Console versions will follow and it sounds like they won’t be arriving until 2021, so perhaps a new game for the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett.
