With the highly anticipated second season debuting on November 9, this update promises to immerse players in the world of Piltover and Zaun with new champions, events, and skins.
Arcane Narrative Event
One of the most exciting additions in this patch is the Arcane Narrative Event, exclusive to Wild Rift. This event allows players to step into the shoes of Heimerdinger and Ekko, exploring their scientific partnership through engaging gameplay.

New Playable Champions
Alongside the event, Wild Rift will introduce two new champions, adding depth and strategy to gameplay:

- Ambessa Medarda: This Mistress of War brings a close-range combat style, relying on lethal combos. While mastering Ambessa may prove challenging, her strong presence in matches promises to make her a formidable ally.
Additionally, a third champion from the Arcane lore will be unveiled at the conclusion of the final episode of the second season, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
Arcane Skins and Champion Reworks
In anticipation of the upcoming season, Riot Games has announced the release of Arcane skins following the launch of Season Two. While specific champions receiving skins remain under wraps, the next patch will feature an Arcane Special Pass, providing players with two exclusive skins.
Champion Reworks: Notable adjustments will also occur for existing champions:
