League of Legends: Wild Rift North America Open Beta Date Announced

Riot Games today announced that League of Legends: Wild Rift, the mobile version of the popular video game League of Legends, will officially enter Open Beta in North America for Android and iOS beginning on March 29th. If you haven't been following along, the title has been in various beta stages across the world, but this marks the first time North America has truly been able to join in on the fun.

League of Legends: Wild Rift isn't just a mobile version of League of Legends, however, as it shares more than just a shared history. The characters, items, and general 5-on-5 nature of League of Legends have been, as Riot Games puts it, built from the ground up for mobile. There are obvious differences between the two, and North American players will soon be able to find out for themselves just how different the two versions of League of Legends actually are at the end of the month.
