Legends of Runeterra 2023 Roadmap – Rotation is Coming!

The Legends of Runeterra dev team has released The Darkin Saga Roadmap, laying down their plans for the growth of the game and content releases for the rest of 2022 and a sneak peek at what’s to come in 2023.

September 2022

The latest expansion The Darkin Saga: Awakening, was released on August 31, 2022. The usual mid-season patch will be coming to balance out the meta.

• The Darkin Saga: Awakening
• 5 New Champions
• Corrupted Event – Part 1
• 2 New Boards
• Mid-Season Balance Patch
• Seasonal Tournamnt
• New PvE Champions

October 2022

Another new expansion to follow in October, and the Arclight event possibly means Varus is one of the new champions here.

• The Darkin Saga: Damnation
• 3 New Champions
• Arclight Event
• New PvE Champions

November 2022

• 2022 World Championship
• Worlds Balance Patch
• Worlds Regional Qualifiers
• Worlds Championship Finals

December 2022

The final The Darkin Saga set we are likely to see Aatrox or even Fiddlesticks as the new champions!

• The Darkin Saga Finale
• 3 New Champions
• Corrupted Event – Part 2
• Mid-Season Balance Patch
• New PvE Champions

2023

The biggest thing to happen to LoR in 2023 could be rotation, a concept in other card games where old cards are phased out (usually into another “eternal” non-rotating format) to keep the meta fresh. Early sets such as Rising Tides may be rotated out, but the Foundations set may be kept permanent. We’ll keep you posted as we know more!

• More LoR-exclusive Champions
• New ways to play, including Rotation
• Balance adjustments
• More Expansions
• Stay tuned for more!

Furthermore, Dave Guskin, the Executive Producer & Game Director of Legends of Runeterra will be holding an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session to go into more detail regarding the future of LoR.
