League of Legends Classic is real: “This was the right time”

League of Legends Classic has been announced earlier than planned due to a leak on the Public Beta Environment (PBE). Executive Producer Paul "Pabro" Bellezza and Head of League Studio Andrei "Meddler" van Roon discussed the excitement surrounding the nostalgic return of the game, which aims to evoke memories of its simpler early days. The initial plan was to reveal the teaser video before the MSI Finals on July 12, but the leak prompted an earlier announcement. The game will feature a roster that extends beyond the original 40 champions, including a return of Graves, and will incorporate old-style Runes and the Summoner Mastery system, though details are not finalized. League Classic will operate within the same client and utilize modern technology while adhering to 2026 system requirements. The full reveal is scheduled for July 11 at 11 PM PDT, with further insights expected at Worlds in October.

Path of Exile 2’s new boss-taming summoner class breaks ARPG minions like never before

The Path of Exile 2 Return of the Ancients update is set to launch on May 29, introducing significant changes, including a redesign of the endgame and a crafting overhaul. Two new Ascendancies will be added: the Martial Artist Monk and the Spirit Walker Huntress. The Spirit Walker Ascendancy allows players to control powerful beast bosses and features three branches: Vivid, Primal, and Wild. The Vivid Path summons stag spirits, the Primal Path enhances projectile skills, and the Wild Path provides a spirit bear companion that boosts minion damage and life. The Idolatry path expands minion build options. The Natural Order feature allows the Tame Beast skill to work on unique beasts, starting with early-game adversaries and escalating to tougher foes. Game director Mark Roberts showcased a "zookeeper build" that utilizes the unique scepter Sylvan's Effigy, which removes companion limits. Companion damage has been buffed, and new features include a raven flock and a cluster grenade launcher called Redemption.
