There’s also a new content patch coming at the same time, which features several new champions and skins, player-requested features, balance adjustments, and bugfixes.

As for other regions, Riot is focused on making the game available everywhere as soon as it can. The open beta for the Americas is expected to launch some time in 2021, but we don’t yet know when exactly this will happen.

If you’re in a region that is able to download the game, which is currently just certain regions in Asia, you can download League of Legends: Wild Rift from the iOS App Store or Google Play for Android. It’s a free to play title with in-app purchases.
