It\u2019s a new game built specifically for these platforms, with faster matches and a new map, hence the new name. Considering the complex hot-key dependent control scheme of MOBAs, they do need some tweaking to work on controllers and touch screens. In fact, one reason why many suspected League wouldn\u2019t come to mobile was because it would compete with existing mobile MOBA\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/mobas-are-still-bad-even-arena-of-valor-on-nintendo-switch-1753393\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Arena of Valor<\/a> <\/em>(also on Nintendo Switch) from Riot\u2019s parent company Tencent.<\/p>\n<p>You can play <em>Wild Rift<\/em>, on mobile at least, starting in 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/wildrift.leagueoflegends.com\/en-us\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Pre-registeration is available now<\/a>\u00a0for Android.

We also got our first brief snippet of gameplay from &#8220;Project L,&#8221; the long-rumored <em>League of Legends<\/em> fighting game built on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/death-to-quarter-circles-its-time-to-rethink-fighting-game-controls-1704326\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">accessible mechanics<\/a> of the <em>Rising Thunder<\/em> prototype Riot acquired.
