Mon Sep 23 15:00:42 UTC 2024: ## League of Legends Embraces Seasonal Model, Announces Cozy New Game
**Riot Games** announced major changes coming to **League of Legends** in 2025, including a shift to a more seasonal game model, similar to popular titles like **Fortnite**.
Starting in 2025, League of Legends will be divided into three distinct themed seasons, each featuring a new champion, narrative updates, and gameplay adjustments. This approach will bring a more structured and thematic experience to the game.
While specific details about the new seasons remain under wraps, Riot Games hinted at exploring “the feeling of a game being doomed when the losing team has an exposed Nexus” in the first season.
In other news, **Arena** mode, a popular temporary game mode, will return for a limited time in the first half of 2025, while **Swarm** mode is not planned for permanent release.
Players can look forward to **patch 14.20** on October 9th, featuring an art and sustainability update for **Teemo** and changes to make wins feel more rewarding. A **League of Legends Player Days Event** will also take place between October 9th and October 27th, offering special missions and champion skins.
In a surprising turn, **Riot Forge**, Riot Games’ indie game label, announced **Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story**, a cozy adventure game featuring the beloved Yordles.
**Bandle Tale** diverges from the action-oriented Riot Forge titles like **The Mageseeker** and **Song of Nunu**, offering a more relaxed and comedic experience reminiscent of **Stardew Valley**. The game follows a Yordle apprentice tasked with reconnecting the regions of **Bandle City** through a series of parties and community building.
**Bandle Tale** is set to be a 40-hour adventure, showcasing Riot Forge’s commitment to unique and engaging storytelling. The game is developed by **Lazy Bear Games**, known for their humor-driven titles, and promises a blend of customization, resource management, and charming gameplay.
