On Thursday morning, Riot Games revealed brand new information on what Teamfight Tactics players can expect to see in the course of 2021 as part of their opening day 2021 season live stream. With over 200,000 fans watching their official YouTube live stream, TJ Bourus, the product leader for automatic chess mode, about what players will experience in the short and long term.
While the segment dedicated to Teamfight Tactics was shorter than most, players received confirmation that in 2021, two sets of content, including the mid-set expansion, will be released in the coming weeks. Set 5, whose name has not been made public, will have a good-versus-evil vibe, according to Bourus. No details were shared, except champions like Garen and Riven will represent the ‘good’ guys, while Darius, Volibear, Morgana, Teemo and de Viego (the newly revealed ‘Ruined King’ champion) will make up some of the upcoming bad guys later on this spring.
For players who may want to mix up their gaming experience, the development team announced today that a “turbo” game mode is on the horizon. According to Bourus, people who want a simpler and faster way to play TFT will have a great time with the new game mode, which they will share more information about later this year.
The last piece of information to be revealed during the stream is one that players have been asking for since shortly after the game was released: a spectator mode. The development team is working hard to create an esports-specific end-of-year spectator mode that they want ready for the Set 5 World Championship. No further details have been shared on when someone will come to the game’s default client.
