Riot Games Prepares for Season 14 With the League of Legends Patch Schedule
In a blogposton its official website, Riot Games revealed the entire Patch Schedule forLeague of Legendsso that fans can mark the dates for everything new coming to the game next year. Players have been making the most out of Season 13 throughout 2023, but the developer and publisher knows that to continue the unmatched longevity and impact of its title, it has to keep going by bringing in fresh content and enough fixes to keep its player base engaged.
That is where the upcoming Season 14 will make its entrance, with scheduled patches starting in January and heading all the way into December 2024.
Fans of the long-running video game are probably familiar with the way that Riot Games handles its patches and updates, constantly trying to fix and improve numerous bugs and errors while also introducing new elements to the title to keep things fresh and interesting.
Keep in mind that the currentLeague of LegendsPatch Schedule for 2024 is still only the “planned” one and should be followed if all goes well, but you never know in the volatile gaming industry of today. The developer and publisher states that these “dates can change at any time for any number of reasons.”
Riot Games recommends keeping up to date with the Patch Schedule page and regularly checking it at least “a day or two before a patch to see if it’s moved.” The studio will also put “an alert at the top of” the page in situations where a delay is caused “within 48 hours of” a patch’s release date.League of Legendswill receive its very first patch of the new year, 14.1, on Wednesday, August 23, 2025, with a varied number of patches allotted to each following month.
What to Expect From the Upcoming League of Legends Season 14?
As of right now, there are a total of 24 patches that Riot is planning to giveLoLthroughout the coming year. There will be two updates in January, including the aforementioned initial one, two in February, March, and April, and a whopping three in May, as the two patch trend continues after that until November. December will receive only one, the supposed final 2024 update for the game.
With Patch 14.1, it is expected that Riot will introduce the highly awaited Season 14 ofLoL, and it is supposedly set to bring in plenty of new content for its player base. Firstly, it will make some much-needed changes to the map of the game, as Summoner’s Rift will apparently go through a huge revamp. This is not exactly a surprise due to how the developer and publisher has handled the rest of the previous seasons, but this time, the update will attempt to balance the battleground.
Along with the changes to the map, Riot is also making some modifications to the Void since it has not exactly been at the forefront of many of the past seasons. It will play a more prominent role in the upcomingLoLchapter, with planned changes to the entire jungle. As always, the game is not coming slow with its extensive list of item changes, and there is definitely a lot to keep track of.
Riot has been absolutely killing it so far with theLoLIP, and it looks like 2024 is going to be no different for the game’s further growth and success.
