The project is scheduled for release in 2027, with a full reveal planned for January.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riot introduced the new name during the 2026 League of Legends World Championship Grand Finals, when Gen.G and Bilibili Gaming were tied 1-1. The company showed a short preview and outlined changes to the game\u2019s technology, visuals, gameplay systems and player experience.<\/p>\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2121726794147430719\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n            <noscript>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2121726794147430719\" target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\n                    View this tweet on Twitter\n                <\/a>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n    \n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">League Studio head Andrei \u201cMeddler\u201d van Roon described the project as an effort to keep League of Legends active for many years. New Dawn will include upgrades to the core engine, a visual update for Summoner\u2019s Rift and changes to how players interact with the game.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riot also plans to release a modernized League of Legends client in 2027. Executive Producer Paul \u201cPabro\u201d Bellezza identified the client as one of the project\u2019s main areas of focus. The update will also add new ways for players to experience their champions.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planned changes extend beyond Summoner\u2019s Rift. Riot has previously outlined updates to runes, champion visuals, other maps and game modes, along with changes intended to improve the experience for new players. The company said the update will serve veteran players, newcomers, ranked players and those who mainly play modes such as ARAM.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want League to stand the test of time and be a game that\u2019s here for many years to come,\u201d Meddler said during the presentation.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellezza called New Dawn an \u201call-encompassing, large-scale update\u201d and described it as the start of a new period for League of Legends. Riot provided few details about the planned mechanics and visual changes. More information is expected in January.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">League of Legends: New Dawn is scheduled to arrive in 2027. Riot is accepting sign-ups for future announcements through its New Dawn webpage.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Reviewed and fact-checked by <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/goranked.gg\/en\/news\/author\/vlad-kipran\" rel=\"follow\"><em>Vlad Kipran<\/em><\/a><em> on November 15.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riot has renamed its planned League of Legends overhaul LoL Next to New Dawn.
