Wild Rift patch 2.2 is going to be massive, as the League of Legends-based mobile MOBA will finally be accessible to the Americas.
Not only will the new region be receiving additional exclusive benefits because of the delayed release, but new champions will also be added to the game along with the much anticipated ARAM game mode.
New events and new features will be up as well, bringing some much-needed quality of life updates to the existing system. There will also be a lot of Champion and Item upgrades to Wild Rift. It’s all set to be one of the biggest patch updates to date.
Wild Rift fans looking for a detailed version of the patch can look up Riot’s official website.
For a brief overview, here are all the major updates.
