Riot Games has confirmed that Arena mode will be coming to LoL with the six-week Soul Fighter event, which begins on July 20th.
"Arena is a new game mode in League of Legends, in which four teams of two players battle each other in alternating rounds of combat," the studio revealed in an official announcement.
This is essentially a last team standing mode, with the ability to strengthen your characters after each round using unique Augments.
Battles will take place in one of four themed battlegrounds that offer a variety of sizes and terrain. Meanwhile, champions from the new Soul Fighter alternate universe will make appearances in the matches – though whether they will help or hinder you remains to be seen.
Soul Fighter takes place in a new alternate universe, where contestants fight to rise to the top through combat on the world's greatest stage, the Tournament of Souls.
Additionally, the event will continue across League of Legends, Runeterra, Teamfight Tactics, and Wild Rift.

“We’re really excited about the breadth of different experiences across the League of Legends ecosystem that make up the Soul Fighter event,” said Studio Lead Andrei van Roon. “Arena, Soul Brawl, and Tag Duel will allow players to experience League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, and Wild Rift, respectively, in new ways that we think bring something truly fresh to the table. We can’t wait to see what players think once they get their hands on them.”.
As for Riot 's other games , Teamfight Tactics is getting the new Soul Brawl mode - a temporary game mode consisting of two stages. The training stage sees players compete for Soul Power which provides new loot options , while the tournament phase is a best-of-three tournament.
Meanwhile, Wild Rift is getting Tag Duel – a new mode that pits players against each other in one-on-one combat. Additionally, all games in the League of Legends universe will get new skins and cosmetics that will keep up with the Soul Fighter aesthetic.
