League of Legends: Wild Rift's closed beta expands to include South Korea and Japan

League of Legends: Wild Rift is currently holding a closed beta in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand on Android devices. Today, players from South Korea and Japan will also be able to join the party.

Alongside these new territories, the game will also be rolled out to more players in the countries that are already part of the beta. To get involved, you simply have to pre-register for League of Legends: Wild Rift over on Google Play and hope you're one of the randomly selected players.

This closed beta is set to run for the next couple of weeks with no specific end date announced just yet. Riot has also said they will be announcing more details soon about other regions that will be able to participate in a closed beta.

If you're interested in learning the state of the game to date, then I'd advise you check out the embedded video below. This is a developer diary that was released last month and includes a host of details about skins, champions, gameplay and the beta itself.
