The six-week Soul Fighter event, which will see in-game content added to “League of Legends,” “Teamfight Tactics,” “League of Legends: Wild Rift,” and “Legends of Runeterra,” was just announced by game creator and publisher Riot Games. Riot Games’ tribute to the fighting game genre, Soul Fighter, will feature brand new game modes, skins, gameplay features, and more across all four Riot Games Runeterra titles, drawing inspiration from the deep emotional resonance and unique character moments from fighting games and anime tournament arcs. The Soul Fighter event begins on Thursday, July 20 and runs through Monday, August 28 globally.
Players are immersed in a vibrant and varied environment where competitors engage in combat to prove themselves on the “Tournament of Souls,” the grandest stage in the alternate reality in which Soul Fighter is set. Fighters with amazing skills compete in the tournament, which is a contest run by the enigmatic God’s Eye until only one remains.
Welcome to the world of Soul Fighter, where powered-up champions, intense rivalries, over-the-top combos, and new game modes come to clash!
