The massive League of Legends 11.20 update arrives in a few days!

Here's when you can expect it to go live, and what's coming at launch.

LoL 11.20 Release Time

The LoL 11.20 patch arrives on Wednesday, October 6th, 2021.

You know the drill! Servers will go down for maintenance around 6am EST, while the actual update will go live around 9am EST - though this can be extended pending any hiccups.

The Harrowing 2021

Another thing to look forward to is the League of Legends Halloween event, The Harrowing 2021.

While the official release date is still not announced, we expect it will keep with the trend of landing in mid to late October, with our prediction being around October 20th.

Gameplay Tokens

Like the past editions of Harrowing, players will be served with spooky emotes, runes, summoner icons, and a theme based on the horror-ific festivities. Fingers crossed we also receive a new map layout along the way.

Game Modes

There are two classic game modes that we expect will return once again to The Harrowing this year, including:

  • Teemoing: Players have to stay alive for 15 minutes before the enemy calls upon the demon.
  • Doom Bots of Doom: The first featured mode to use bots. The Co-op vs. AI mode is off the charts, as each bot will be mutated and is granted empowered abilities.

Bewitching 2021 Skins

Expect to see new Trick or Treat inspirations, as Riot comes out with this year's Bewitching Skins early in LoL 11.20!

Fiora, Nami, Poppy, Syndra, and Yuumi, will be donning the newest Bewitching Skins, while Morgana also getting her Prestige Edition.

These will be a great early bit of Halloween spirit before The Harrowing arrives.
