League’s upcoming Summer Festival event is now all but guaranteed to include the return of Nexus Blitz. Files on LoL’s Public Beta Environment have revealed a revamped map for the removed game-mode, now reskinned in Ionian colours.<\/p>\n

Nexus Blitz made waves when it was first introduced to League of Legends as a fast-paced 5v5 mode with an eclectic combination of random in-game events, massive team-fights and Nexus on Nexus mecha-combat. If that sounds like a lot to take in, that’s because it was.<\/p>\n

Riot had initially considered making Nexus Blitz a permanent game-mode<\/a>, especially with the then-planned and now removed 3v3 Twisted Treeline map. However, while initial engagement was high, the novelty wore off with players who raised concerns about some of the imbalances of in-game events and the uninspiring map updates.<\/p>\n

Riot’s hunt for an experimental game-mode that they could convert into a permanent addition to League of Legends was finally answered, when their auto-battler Teamfight Tactics became a success.<\/p>\n
