Players will be flocking to League of Legends for the new PvE game mode that will be hitting the client alongside the Summer Event.
Arena, Lee Sin & PvE mode first look | Dev Update – League of Legends
In the latest Dev Update video, the League team shared details about Swarm, the new game mode previously described as a “bullet heaven survivor” event. The summer event, taking place in mid-July, is rumored to be themed around the Anima universe, with leaked skins hinting at the return of the skin line in 2022.
While not many official details have been shared about Swarm, players can expect it to share similarities with Vampire Survivors, with swarms of enemies and nearly impossible bosses to defeat. However, unlike the single-player experience of Poncle's game, Swarm will feature a cooperative gameplay environment where players can tackle challenges together.
Anticipation around PvE events in League is always high, and this time around it is even more so given the success of previous iterations and the years of anticipation for a new one. However, given that Swarm is tied to the summer event, it’s likely that this mode will only be available for two to three months. Still, it wouldn’t be surprising to see players clamoring for Riot to make it permanent if they find it half as fun as Extraction or Invasion modes.
