Earth is under siege in League of Legends’ Anima Squad universe. The world’s final line of defense is rising to stand up for the planet, and you’ll step into the shoes of one of these powerful protectors in the new PvE game mode. But when does Swarm release? We’ve got the answer.
This mode is a “bullet heaven” playlist (think Vampire Survivors) that lets you blast away at countless waves of monstrous enemies as you hold the line with three other teammates in a game mode League has never seen before. You can access many weapons, Augments, and other tools to wipe out anyone in your way.
If you want to jump into the action, here’s when League’s new Swarm game mode goes live.
When does LoL Swarm come out?
League’s new Swarm game mode launches with Patch 14.14 on Wednesday, July 17, along with the new 2024 Anima Squad event. Players get to explore a ton of new content for the rest of the summer, including the new mode, various missions within the event, and the game’s newest champion, Aurora.
Riot Games hasn’t confirmed the time the mode will be released precisely, but based on previous launches, it should be out around 3pm UTC (5pm CEST) in Europe and 6pm UTC (1pm CT) in North America and elsewhere in the world. You never know with Riot Games, so take this with a grain of salt.
In Swarm, you can choose from several playable champions alongside up to three different teammates as you fight against swarms of rampant Primordians. Whether you’re firing off countless bullets as Jinx or soaking up damage as Leona, you can pick from multiple different playstyles and build your champion the way you want. We’ve already played it on the PBE and can confirm it’s a lot of fun.
