Riot has released another League of Legends: Wild Rift developer update video today that revealed a host of details about the upcoming mobile version of the popular MOBA. There is information on an upcoming regional open beta, the timeline for release in other regions and seven new champions that will be heading to the rift.
From October 27th, the game will be available in open beta in South Korea, Japan, The Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Additionally, where applicable, players in those regions will be able to play the game using their Riot accounts for extra in-game rewards based on their investment in League of Legends.
