Riot to Sunset League of Legends Classic in January 2027

engadget.com —

Riot Games will sunset League of Legends Classic in early January 2027, ending the throwback mode that launched in July. The studio will introduce windowed queues in low-population regions and continue adding champions through 2026. Player interest in the nostalgic mode waned quickly, with many returning to other parts of League. Riot plans to preserve the work by potentially bringing Classic back as a limited-time event mode with adjustments based on player feedback. The mode was designed to let players re-experience past versions of the long-running MOBA. Riot's future revival would incorporate changes informed by the inaugural run's reception.
