Riot Games teased fans at the 2026 World Championship with cinematics and gameplay previews of the overhaul. The update will feature a brand-new game client, a refreshed Summoner's Rift map, and evolved gameplay for beloved champions like Blitzcrank, Lux, and Ahri. Riot executive producer Paul Bellezza stated that the company envisions League as a \"multi-generational\" game that could run for 100 years. The studio plans to unveil more details about the update in January. Upcoming tournaments in 2027 include expanded matches in China, the Mid-Season Invitational in Spain, and Worlds 2027 hosted in Japan and South Korea. The traditional Worlds Play-In Stage may be replaced by the Demacia Cup, potentially allowing more teams to participate.",
