Riot has announced that its upcoming League of Legends: Wild Rift is set to begin public alpha testing very soon.
The much-anticipated iOS, Android, and console version of League of Legends, entitled League of Legends: Wild Rift, was announced back in 2019 during League of Legends 10 year anniversary week, and was slated to release sometime in 2020. The year is now 2020 and and fans who are eager for the game's release will be happy to know that alpha testing is set to begin in June.
on June 6 in the Philippines. According to Riot, the Wild Rift Region Android Alpha will run until June 27 and wi lucky fans and gamer's will get the opportunity to play the game before its official release date.
The Wild Rift Region Android Alpha will not be available everywhere, however, and will be limited to Android devices. The alpha testing will also only occur in Brazil and the Philippines, and will run from June 6 to June 27 Manila time. Riot's reasoning behind placing the alpha testing in these two regions first is due to the fact that the players there aren't entirely familiar with how "regular" League players may play the game. This means that Riot is looking for a fresh take, rather than typical feedback from the average League player.
This first round is highly selective, which means that much like the Valorant beta key, players will be randomly selected. Howeverm unlike the Valorant key, players will not have to watch streams. Instead, they must pre-register for the game on Google Play. Game invites will begin to be sent by Riot on June 6. However, servers will be down from June 6 until June 8 around 6 until 10pm local time so that Riot can test the game's overall stability.
If you are in either of the two regions previously mentioned and want to check out League of Legends: Wild Rift, your phone will need these specs: 3GB of RAM (or more), a resolution of 1280 x 720 (and up), a CPU with 8 cores, 15.GHz (ore more), and must be a 64-bit processor. Riot has stated that come Wild Rift's official release, the specs needed to run the game will not be as demanding.
