Will there be microtransactions?

While League of Legends Wild Rift will be free-to-play, it should come to no surprise that there are exceptions to this rule. Wild Rift's big brother, League of Legends, has also been free-to-play. The big thing here is that League of Legends makes its money from skins and other microtransactions. You can expect the same here in League of Legends Wild Rift. Microtransactions will be coming to the LoL Wild Rift.

You can expect a store or shop, much like League of Legends, to be within the mobile app itself. You can expect purchases of mobile-only exclusive skins to draw in users not only from different markets but the core League of Legends itself. We should remind you all that Microtransactions of all kinds within video games are harming. You should use extreme caution when deciding to purchase in-game items, lootboxes, or any form of cosmetic items. These hold no real-world value, only bragging rights to friends and players alike.

Needless to say, Wild Rift looks to be one of the hottest mobile app releases this year.
