LoL Patch 25.S1.1 – 2025 season is here
2025 will be a big year for League of Legends. Aside from several changes in the competitive side of things, the game is also getting many new features, including the addition of a new epic monster, as well as the introduction of seasonal themes close to the lore.
While the new season is yet to start, you can check out some of the planned changes that are likely to be applied in the first update of the new season, the LoL Patch 25.S1.1.
Not a big fan of the new name but it was probably necessary to help distinguish the various seasons across 2025. As always, you can find the detailed numbers below by game designer Spideraxe.
Patch 25.S1.1 Release Date
While the official patch schedule for 2025 is yet to be confirmed, you can expect Patch 25.S1.1 to be released somewhere in early January 2025.
How will the upcoming patch shake the meta?
It’s still early to make calls on how the meta will look like, so we will have to wait a bit more on the details planned for the new season.
In the meantime, check out the tier lists for the current patch:
