Hey everyone. I'm TJ, the Lead Producer on Teamfight Tactics and long time mech player.
I'm here to talk about what's coming in the next few months for TFT
including what’s next for mobile, an update on Little Legends
and some hints as to what the next set’s theme will be.
We’ve been blown away by how much you’ve all been playing galaxies
and its mid-set update, and the positive response has been beyond our expectations.
We think the new set cadence is working well.
We release a major set every 6 months
with a mid-set update in between.
You can expect the next set to look similar, lasting until April
with a mid-set update in January
that will bring a new pass, a ranked reset, and a rotation of new champions and traits
and after all that we'll be kicking off a brand new set once again.
Speaking of the next set, in September we're taking Pengu and his friends
on a journey to distant lands, where the strength of their spirits will blossom
and their devotion to the gods will be tested.
They will run into some familiar friends of the past
and encounter new enemies from far-off kingdoms
all in hopes to revel under the blood moon
with the friends that they have chosen along the way.
In addition to new sets, we're also working on other ways for you to engage with TFT.
We're still exploring a spectator mode as a way to improve the TFT viewing experience.
And we know how important this feature will be, especially for those of you
that like to watch TFT at a high level play, and we wanted to deliver that to you this year.
However, we had to focus on some other areas of the game first
like keeping up with the new set cadence as well as the mobile release.
We don't have the timing down just yet
but we're now clearing out space for this work to begin
and we'll keep you updated as we progress.
In addition to these features, we're also working on new TFT modes.
We want TFT to be a place where there are multiple ways to enjoy TFT
modes that better fit your schedule, whether you're playing on mobile or PC
and how ever you're feeling this week.
We're hoping to bring in at least one TFT mode to you early next year.
Speaking of mobile, we're putting a lot of effort towards making the TFT
experience on mobile devices better.
This means performance improvements for lower quality phones
making it easier for new players to get into the game
and various improvements to making the in- and out-of-game experience equal to that of PC.
Match history, in app patch notes, and chat are some example features
we want to work on.
You can expect to see a lot of these updates between now and early next year.
We’ve heard your feedback that it simply isn’t worth it to buy dozens of
Little Legends eggs just to get the 3 star Little Legend that you want.
So we developed a system that will make it easier to star up your favorite Little Legends.
Introducing Star Shards.
Star Shards are a new TFT currency that can be purchased directly
or collected through the Pass+.
You can use Star Shards to star-up your favorite Little Legends.
And yup, that means you can now get the long awaited for 3-star Astronaut Molediver
and Star Guardian Silverwing.
We're also expanding the number of Little Legends variants
that you can buy directly.
For some of the upcoming Little Legend releases, you’ll be able to directly buy
the 1-star that you want, including its variant!
They can then be upgraded with the Star Shard system
giving you the power to choose what Little Legend you want to invest in.
You’ve also let us know that you want more variety in the themes, tones and
shapes and sizes for your Little Legends.
We think we’re just scratching the surface on what Little Legends can be
and right now, we’re working on shaking up what Little Legends are.
Finally, we’re looking into new ways to spice up Arena skins.
Right now we’re testing future Arena skins that react to the state of your game.
Whether you’re win streaking or three- starring a champion
we want to find ways for your board to celebrate your feats or defeats with you!
With each set, more and more of you show up to play TFT
and we're growing as a team to match the demand that your passion has created.
It’s been over a year since the release, and just looking back at how far we’ve
come makes me so proud of our team and so thankful for your support.
We're working to make every aspect of the TFT experience as enjoyable as it can be.
So whether you're coming in first, or just top eight,
I'll see you out there on the Convergence.
