League of Legends fans get ready as Riot Games opens up pre-registration for Wild Rift on the Google Play Store and the Beta is expected very soon.

It's no surprise to anyone that Riot Games has been knocking it out of the park recently with new video game titles, what with Valorant topping Twitch charts, Legends of Runeterra arrived recently for the card player fanatics and now we're expecting League of Legends Wild Rift sooner than expected.

Within their 10th anniversary video, Riot Games mentioned League of Legends would be expanding, but we didn't expect it this quickly! Like EarlyGame, those with a nose for news would have spotted that the pre-registration has officially opened for LoL Wild Rift, with a beta expected very soon.

Wild Rift is not just a port of the PC game

You won't be making incredible technical plays with this mobile version of League of Legends, however, what you will be doing is playing Summoner's Rift on your mobile which is something the community never expected would happen, but here we are. This game was developed from the ground up! We've got you covered with specifics further down.
We had to get it right. We needed to figure out how to bring a true League experience to other platforms in a way that's worthy of your love, your time, your investment" - Michael Chow (Riot Paladin)

Summoner's Rift won't be the same, though. With some tweaks and changes to optimize the App for mobile devices, for example, match times will be significantly lower than the usual game for League of Legends which sometimes reach well over an hour.

Do not expect all League of Legends champions to arrive with Wild Rift. This is something Riot Games themselves have mentioned in the past, but this game was built from the ground up with mobile in mind, even down changing the numbers to ensure some stability. Expect other champions to arrive in patches much like the PC version of LoL, with mobile patch notes on the official Riot Games website.

How do I register?

Simply head on over to the Google Play Store and sign up for the League of Legends Wild Rift pre-registration to be contacted for a chance at being in the Beta, which is expected very soon (You can sign up here).

For everything else League of Legends, keep it here with EarlyGame.
