If you’ve been looking for a new League of Legends experience, you’re not alone. For quite some time, many players have been requesting more game modes. Riot Games, on the other hand, has finally provided additional details on a long-awaited deathmatch mode that has been in development.
According to lead gameplay producer Ryan “Reav3” Mireles, League’s future 2v2v2v2 deathmatch game mode will go live with the 2023 summer event. This mode will provide a slew of new concepts and features that will be both entertaining and difficult for every player.

Furthermore, the new mode will not take place on Summoner’s Rift or any previous maps. Riot has revealed that a new map is being created for the mode and has teased a few concept art pieces depicting what the deathmatch arena would look like when players initially enter the combat.
Based on the artwork, the map will most likely be circular, with each team starting in their own region. The map’s centre will include several structures where players can collide with opposing teams.
Some of the artwork includes bodies of water and shrubs dispersed throughout, which might allow for outplays and surprise ambushes from teams. These various map pieces should provide the mode additional variety in terms of gameplay and interactions with different champion combinations.
Champions in this mode can also increase power as the fight progresses by purchasing items, levelling up, and earning powerful Augments between combat rounds.
Not to mention that the idea was inspired in part by Teamfight Tactics’ Double Up mode, which allows players to team up with a friend for a unique experience.
