League of Legends Wild Rift may not be available globally as of writing, but this hasn’t stopped the developers from working hard on the game.

When will patch 4.3 go live in League of Legends Wild Rift?

The official video states that the 4.3 patch will go live on July 16. Titled Fighting Spirit, the highlight of the patch will be three new characters:

• Nilah
• Vladimir
• Hecarim

The upcoming roster additions seem pretty diverse, as the potential roles of all three are quite different from each other. Vladimir could be an especially interesting entry due to his in-game abilities that allow him to leech an opponent’s life points.

The new patch will also include reworks for Jenna and Annie, and some of their abilities will be changed to make them more viable in the current meta. The rework contains an overhaul of the rune system as well.

Once the changes are active, you'll have more flexibility in terms of team composition. There will also be some big changes to map vision and support items will be enhanced to make League of Legends Wild Rift’s meta much more dynamic.

League of Legends Wild Rift patch 4.3 events

The upcoming update will introduce the Soul Fighter event, letting players fight 1v1. The mode will be available in the second half of July 2023 and includes a narrative campaign. This is expected to be popular with the player base as the event focuses on solo (rather than team-based) action and skills.
