Riot Games præsenterer den nye Teamfight Tactics-udvidelse, Into the Arcane, som lanceres den 20. november 2024. Denne tilføjelse vækker det populære Arcane-univers til live i TFT med eksklusive helte, nye mekanikker og masser af fede visuelle opdateringer.

Blandt nyhederne er en innovativ mekanik kaldet The Anomaly, der giver gamere muligheden for at justere deres hold på unikke måder. Med over 100 nye forstærkninger og særlige “Team-Up Augments” kan gamere eksperimentere med dynamiske kombinationer, som fx at aktivere “Sisters”-effekten ved at spille Jinx og Vi sammen.

Derudover introducerer tilføjelsen karakterer som Silco, Powder, og Vander, der giver dybere strategiske muligheder og gør oplevelsen endnu mere spændende.

Arcane-universet kommer også til live under TFT Macao Open i december, hvor gamere kan opleve turneringer, Q&A-sessions og eksklusive aktiviteter med Arcane-tema.

Into the Arcane er en unik kombination af strategi og fortælling, der inviterer gamere til at forme deres egne versioner af Arcane-historien i TFT.

The world of Arcane once again manifests in the Convergence in the latest game update for Teamfight Tactics,the world’s largest PC strategy game. Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane will launch on PC and mobile on November 20, 2024 and will be free to play for all players. 

During the broadcast of the Magic n’ Mayhem Tactician’s Crown Finals, Riot Games showcased Into the Arcane’s gameplay highlights such as the Set’s unique mechanic, Arcane-inspired traits, a refreshed lineup of Augments, and brand new cosmetics. 

Champions

The newest game update will come packed with a powerhouse selection of Champions for players to build their dream teams. The roster features 11 TFT-exclusive units from the world of Arcane alongside iconic champions from League of Legends. Players can look forward to the return of Silco, and the introduction of fan-favorites like Powder, Violet, Vander, Sevika, Smeech, and more.

Traits

Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane introduces new traits that bring the action of Arcane directly into the Convergence:

  • Enforcer: Start combat with shields and damage amplification. The highest health enemy units become WANTED, granting Attack Speed boosts upon their defeat.
  • Chem-Baron: Gain Shimmer after each player combat, with increased rewards during a loss streak. Collect Shimmer to access the Black Market and choose powerful Illegal Items that enhance your Chem-Barons.
  • Academy: Sponsored items provide bonuses to max Health and Damage Amp, which are doubled for Academy units.
  • Firelight: Firelights dash every 6 seconds, attacking with infinite range while healing based on the damage they’ve taken.
  • Family: Family members provide mutual support, reducing max Mana and enhancing bonuses.

Set Mechanic: The Anomaly

Into the Arcane features an exciting new mechanic: The Anomaly. This unique gameplay feature allows players to reroll bonuses to permanently transform one Champion on their board per game. Some Anomaly options offer general power, tankiness, or utility, while others will have a more specialized, unique effect for the Champion.

Players will encounter the Anomaly at stage 4-6, giving them a very important choice to make for their endgame. With over 50 Anomaly effects available on release, players will be faced with thousands of potential game-changing decisions.

Augments

This set marks the largest Augment refresh since Set 7, introducing over 100 brand new Augments (not including Trait and Emblem Augments). 

Among the new Augments include the introduction of Team-Up Augments. This innovative twist on TFT’s beloved Champion Augments allows players to field two specific champions together to unlock a unique trait, paving the way for exciting new compositions and strategies centered around Arcane character pairings.

A highlight of this new system is a nostalgic nod to Set 6, the previous Arcane set. When Vi and Jinx are on the battlefield together, they activate the Sisters trait, enhancing each other’s abilities and powering up through chain takedowns.  

Cosmetics

Into the Arcane also brings a wealth of new cosmetics, including Chibis like Firelight Ekko, Arcane

Vi, Arcane Caitlin, and the Prestige Arcane Superfan Annie. Additionally, a new Last Drop-inspired Mythic Arena will transform twice during gameplay, showcasing Jinx’s journey throughout Season 1 of Arcane.

The set will also debut Unbound Tacticians, a new cosmetic category that showcases champions at their peak power and brings in their unique backstory. This new style is highlighted in every facet of the Tactician, including their emotes, movement animations, and even their splash art. The inaugural champion in this new style will be Arcane Jinx Unbound.

TFT Macao Open

The TFT Macao Open will bring the Set to life this December! The event will take place Dec 6-8 at the Venetian Macao and will bring together 512 competitors in an open-bracket tournament. All attendees will have opportunities to spectate the thrilling competition, participate in a variety of TFT side events, attend TFT Dev Q&A panels, meet their favorite content creators, and immerse themselves in Arcane activations.

Quote from Shawn Elizabeth Main, Lead Set Designer for Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane: “From the beginning, our goal was to deliver a fresh and immersive experience for players, blending strategic gameplay with the rich storytelling of Arcane. Players now have the tools to experiment and tinker with their dream comps, creating scenarios never before seen in the world of Arcane.”

Quote from Peter Whalen, Game Director for Teamfight Tactics:

“We’re so thrilled for TFT and Arcane fans to experience Into the Arcane. The team pored over every facet of this set to make sure we captured the essence of the show for players who want to create their own versions of the story in each and every game. No two stories will be the same, and we can’t wait to see what players will cook up.”

Quote from Michael Sherman, Director of TFT and 2XKO Esports:

“We worked hand-in-hand with teams across TFT, Arcane, and esports to make sure that players and fans would have a truly immersive Arcane experience at the event. The competition will be played on the new set just weeks after launch and attendees will be able to enjoy Arcane-themed goods and activations. The biggest TFT community and competitive event of the year will be a true celebration of Arcane.”
