Overall, this past year Riot Games invested in developing an inaugural year of Wild Rift esports. Indeed, as their very own mobile esport, we’re excited for the future. Accordingly, we’re excited to present the Wild Rift Esports 2023 road map below!
Wild Rift Esports 2023 Road Map – A Second Year
In the opening season of the official circuit held by Riot Games, there were definitely moments of success. Indeed, it seems that there were also moments of learning which have inspired change for the 2023 season.
In short, here’s what John Needham, President of Esports at Riot Games, had to say:
In 2023, we will centralize the operation and focus of Wild Rift Esports in Asia, the biggest and most active mobile esports market in the world. The new Wild Rift league in Asia will be the first Riot cross-regional professional mobile esports league and will replace the original Wild Rift Esports (WRE) in April of 2023.

This new league ecosystem will consist of twelve teams from China’s WRL and eight teams from the other 2022 Asian regions. The season will be structured as two splits each year and will focus on showcasing the best talent from the most competitive regions in our sport.

Wild Rift 2023 – Focusing on Asia
In conclusion, it seems that Riot Games will no longer be supporting any Wild Rift esports leagues for regions outside of Asia.
However, this does open the door for third-party organizers to fill in the schedule ahead of the season starting.
In conclusion, the main goal for 2023 with this title is Riot Games dreaming that this title can contest with the top mobile esports titles out there.
Let’s see if the investment into Asia pays off.
