Related Topics: Riot Games

League of Legends: Wild Rift is set to get its first exclusive mobile-only champion in 2026.

Riot Games teased that the champion, which hasn’t been revealed, will be a mage for the mid-lane. The announcement came during Wild Rift’s 5th Anniversary livestream.

Community speculation points to the new champion possibly being Norra, Yuumi’s long-referenced master in Runeterra lore. This is based on the teaser art and copy, though Riot Games has not formally named the character.

Wild Rift currently has more than 125 characters, all originating from League PC with some changes to optimise them for mobile.
