League of Legends‘ 2026 season is almost here! It will begin with Act I and introduce a fresh way to play, exploring the rich backstory of Demacia.
The current style of play in League of Legends feels reminiscent of the Pokémon Gold and Silver games. To start the first act of Season 2026 with a splash, Riot Games has introduced “Demacia Rising,” a new way to play. In this version, you’ll play as Lux, learning military tactics from her aunt, Tianna.
New LoL metagame: Demacia Rising
You’ll start by discovering the story of Demacia, a powerful and honorable kingdom known for its strong military. Demacia highly values justice, honor, and duty. You’ll experience the game as Lux, a very popular and well-known champion from this land.
So, I’ve got Tianna, Lux’s aunt, guiding me on this adventure, which is awesome! Basically, I’m building up a kingdom – gathering resources, training troops, and researching upgrades to make my army and towns super strong. And of course, I’ll need to defend everything from constant attacks. It’s a lot to manage, but it’s shaping up to be a really cool experience!
How to advance in the metagame
Throughout the event, the game will receive multiple updates. Expect to see new upgrades, items, story content, units, playable champions, challenging threats, and exciting events added as it progresses.
You can enjoy the current League of Legends event until the end of Act I, giving you ample time to participate. To create and grow your kingdom within the event, you’ll need Silver Shields, which you can earn by playing both League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics.
Okay, so in Act I, I can rack up a ton of Silver Shields just by playing! There are daily and weekly missions that basically hand them out. If I grab the Battle Pass, I get a bunch right away, and I’ll earn even more from those regular missions. Plus, if I use a skin that came out during Season 1 in a match, I get a one-time bonus of Silver Shields. Sweet!
