Riot has announced New Dawn, a League of Legends overhaul featuring a modernized client, a visual update to Summoner’s Rift and new ways to play each champion. The changes cover both the MOBA’s presentation and the options available during matches.In a teaser, Andrei “Meddler” van Roon, head of League Studio, said the team wants to keep League relevant for years to come. The video offers a first look at the changes, though details on how the new systems work remain scarce.One scene shows a Blitzcrank player selecting what appears to be a champion-specific upgrade tree labeled “God Hand”. The champion is then shown attacking an enemy at close range. The footage hints at new build options but does not explain how the selection works.Other champions are also shown using abilities in ways that are not currently possible. Vayne, for example, dashes through a wall.On the visual side, Summoner’s Rift will receive a graphical overhaul. The five-on-five map last received an update of this kind in 2014. The teaser also shows new models for champions and monsters, including Baron Nashor and the Elder Dragon.The art direction shown is closer to Wild Rift, League’s mobile spin-off, with more detailed character models. Initial player reactions have been mixed, with some drawing comparisons to mobile games and others saying they would rather try it before judging.Riot has not yet announced a release date for New Dawn.With reporting from PC Gamer.
