The closed beta region will be primarily based in SEA region and limited to Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. The official team states the reason as “Most of the regions in this test are geographically fairly close to one another, so we can focus on scale testing a smaller group of servers.”

LOL Wild Rift will enter the closed beta testing with a better and improved client. The game will have huge improvements in terms of game play as well as in-game cosmetics and customized layouts. The following changes will be implemented in the closed beta version:

· Tower damage and hit points are adjusted.

· Eight new champions are added, with more promised to come.

· Adjustments to skill-shot targeting for mid to long range skills.

· Added game skins and in-game currency.

· Movable layouts for scoreboards, player HUD and customization options for skill buttons and other settings.

· Added balanced ranked system.

  • Europe
  • Taiwan
  • Oceania
  • Vietnam

Indians will miss out on the beta testing but the Americans meanwhile will have to wait until Spring 2021. However, they were also very keen to point out any of this may change depending on how the game progresses in that time. Naturally, should anything change we’ll be sure to let you know.
