Soul Fighter: Riot Games announces new event from the League of Legends universe

Inspired by the competitive spirit of fighting games, Riot Games officially announced the new temporary event of the League of Legends universe: Soul Fighter, which will bring new modes, game mechanics and skins.

Soul Fighter comes to League of Legends, Wild Rift, Teamfight Tactics and Legends of Runeterra games on July 20th and will run for six weeks, officially ending on August 28th.

The event takes players to an alternate universe of League of Legends, super colorful and diverse, where competitors fight to show who is the best and be the only survivor in the “Tournament of Souls”, a competition organized by the “God’s Eye” .

In addition, the League of Legends update for the Soul Fighter event will also introduce a new champion: Naafiri.

Soul Fighter’s new game modes

In addition to many new skins and Season Passes, games in the League of Legends universe will also receive new game modes, with new mechanics exclusive to the Soul Fighter event.

Check them out:

League of Legends

New mode: Arena

In the new Arena game mode, four teams of two players each fight one another in rotating combat rounds. After each round of combat, they will power up with unique Augments until only one team is left standing. Combat takes place on four different battlefields which vary in size, terrain density, and theme. Champions from the Soul Fighter universe will make occasional cameo appearances in matches.  Sometimes they’ll help, sometimes not so much. 

Metagame Experience: Tournament of Souls

Tournament of Souls is a style-rating-focused combo-battler that takes place in the client. As Samira, you will gain Reputation by playing games of League, which in turn allows you to face new opponents and unlock new abilities for Samira to progress further in the tournament. The objective of the tournament is to become the champion by defeating all ten opponents. You can claim rewards after each victory and take on new challenges after unlocking the Story and Expert difficulty levels. 

Teamfight Tactics

New mode: Soul Brawl

Much like Fortune’s Favor during Lunar Gala at the start of this year, Soul Brawl is a temporary game mode coming to Teamfight Tactics as part of the Soul Fighter event. This game mode takes place across two stages; the Training phase, where you compete for Soul Power that will strengthen your Soul Crown and provide additional loot options, and the Tournament phase, where you will be victorious or be eliminated in a best-of-three bracket tournament. 

Narrative Experience: Choncc Dome

Here, Champions and Tacticians team up to prepare for the Tournament of Souls. The Choncc Dome will be accompanied by an exclusive Event Pass+.

League of Legends: Wild Rift

New mode: Tag Duel

Tag Duel is a new game mode that pits players against each other in one-on-one combat. Each player will select three champions before entering combat and can seamlessly swap between them, so long as they are off cooldown. In this mode, you can take the combos into your own hands instead of needing your teammates to finish off the play.  The first player to reach four kills will emerge victorious.

Narrative experience

Experience an original story set within the world of Soul Fighter, told through the eyes of Draven and Yasuo as they battle in the Tournament of Souls and venture into the Lands Beyond. By playing matches of Wild Rift you will progress through a visual novel, which also features minigame combat that will test your speed and accuracy. By progressing through the event, you will be rewarded with tokens that can be spent on various items in the event shop. You will also be able to unlock Arcade Mode, which lets you play through a series of minigames as your favorite Soul Fighter champion, awards an exclusive emote, and more.

Legends of Runeterra

Despite not receiving a special game mode for the Soul Fighter event, Legends of Runeterra will have a new Event Pass, in addition to new skins, including Samira Soul Fighter.
