TFT 5.5 release date: When is the Reckoning mid-set update

We are halfway through TFT's 5th set, Reckoning, which was released in April 2021, and Riot is now slowly starting to share news about the next mid-set.

The story of Reckoning will continue with the 5.5 mid-set, which has been officially revealed by Riot Games today. Players will once again join either Chaos Pengu and the Black Mist or team up with Pengu and the forces of Order in a culmination of the story once the update goes live.

The mid-set will bring a set of new champions and traits, but that's not all as this mid-set will also feature a new mechanic because TFT developers think that the set "needs more variance".

The reveal trailer didn't show the new mechanic, but we expect it to be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
