Riot taking a 1-week break for July 4, all titles patch timelines may shift

Riot’s taking the week of July 4th off to rest, recharge, and stretch our wrists. This will be our third year taking a summer break so we’re getting the drill down now. Patch timelines may shift to accommodate the change, and, if so, individual game teams will send out the specifics. In the meantime, some teams like our live operations, anticheat, and security teams will be staggering their breaks to make sure everything keeps running smoothly throughout the break. Knowing Rioters, you’ll probably see more of us spending this week on the Rift, figuring out the angles on Pearl, and searching for the perfect Dragon to round out our comps.

LoL patch timeline so far

Patch 12.12b was scheduled for today June 30 and it’s already July 1 in many parts of the world. To be fair, they did not specify the time zone and it’s still 3 pm June 30 at their LA headquarters. Patience is a virtue!

Patch 12.13 was scheduled for July 12, and Star Guardian 2022 summer event was slated for July 14.


This is only Riot’s 3rd year taking a summer break

Everyone deserves a vacation. We wish Rioters a fantastic holiday and look forward to seeing what the re-energized team can achieve this year.

We’ll keep you updated on any schedule changes.
