League of Legends: Wild Rift was supposed to get its official launch in the early months of 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release kept getting delayed, and it finally seems that this title can have an official launch later this year.

In the Apple Event, which was mainly held to talk about the tech giant’s latest iPhone 12 device, Wild Rift was introduced as a part of its ‘Games Chapter.’

The conference highlighted that this game would be released after the open beta, which will be concluding later in 2020, and will have a much-improved gameplay experience on the iPhone 12.

Much of the Apple Event talked in-depth about the elevated gaming experience that iPhone 12 would be bringing to the mobile esports market. Certain features of the new Apple device, like the 5G technology and the 14 Bionic chip, were highlighted as some of the most significant contributors in making the phone highly sought-after for mobile esports.
