League of legends was de meest populaire game op de PC met meer dan 100 miljoen spelers. Nu staat Fortnite op nummer 1, maar Fortnite is speelbaar op meerdere platforms. Riot Games heeft gisterenavond tijdens de viering van het tien jaar bestaan van League of Legends, een console en mobiele versie aangekondigd van de zeer populaire MOBA.
De console en smartphone-versie van League of Legends zal Wild Rift heten. De smartphone-versie komt als eerst waarbij met touch controls gespeeld moet worden. Vervolgens moet de console-versie verschijnen waarbij dezelfde vertrouwde gameplay moet werken op een controller. Aangezien alle platforms beschikken over unieke controls, heeft Riot besloten om geen cross-play te implementeren, want anders hebben de PC-spelers een groot voordeel.
Bekijk de onthullingstrailer van Wild Rift hieronder, en voor meer gedetailleerdere informatie raden we aan om de uitgebreide FAQ van Riot hieronder te lezen.
When is League of Legends: Wild Rift coming out in my region? Which platforms?
For mobile, we’re coming to iOS and Android, and you can pre-register on the Google Play Store right now. For console… we’ll have more info on that a bit later in 2020. Stay tuned by using the box above.
Is Wild Rift cross-platform between PC and mobile / console?
No—the games differ in a few ways, but both include the core five-versus-five MOBA gameplay you expect from League of Legends. Adding cross-platform between League PC and Wild Rift would require compromises of competitive integrity, and we want to make sure the gameplay feels fair and fun no matter which platform you’re most comfortable on.
During certain big moments throughout the year, we’ll try to coordinate event themes and releases between League PC and Wild Rift, and we’re exploring the possibility of cross-platform play between mobile and console, but nothing locked in yet.
What’s the difference between this and League on PC?
So basically, we rebuilt the game from scratch (like… the whole thing). Refreshed models, animations, game systems, and more—but keeping true to the core League of Legends gameplay you already know. We didn’t want to just port League on PC 1:1—we want to make sure Wild Rift feels like it was designed for new platforms, and use that opportunity to make a bunch of improvements to the game. While you won’t get your unlocks from League PC, you’ll get some cool rewards for the time you’ve spent in the PC version. More to come on that in 2020!
What are the minimum mobile specs?
This isn’t set in stone, but we’re aiming to make the game as accessible as possible across as many devices as we can. Here are our current targets for mobile specs:
For Android, we’re hoping to have compatibility to the equivalent to a Samsung Galaxy A7: 1GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, and Adreno 306 GPU.
For iOS devices, we’re aiming to have Wild Rift run on iPhone 5S and later.
