2020 has been a tough year when it comes to developing and releasing games. Wild Rift was supposed to have its open beta servers up and running worldwide by the first half of 2020.
However, as we near the end of the year, the devs could only get a few beta servers up for specific regions.
The three major mobile gaming regions of India, North America, and South America will not be getting their Wild Rift open beta access this year, and fans will have to wait till 2021 to get their hands on this game.
In a recent tweet, Michael Chow, the Executive Producer of Riot Games, talked about the problems that the developers have been facing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He added that the current situation has delayed the server release for Wild Rift in many regions.
While addressing fans from India, North America, and South America, he noted that Riot would not be compromising on any of the gameplay aspects of this game and will not rush the development of Wild Rift.
Wild Rift devs could take down the game temporarily
In the tweet video, Michael Chow had this to say:
Riot doesn’t want to rush the developmental phase of Wild Rift in any region, as it will create more problems than solve the existing ones.
Rushing Wild Rift’s service and development might create a situation that makes Riot ‘take down the game completely, for some time,’ and even risk ‘resetting your account progress. While we migrate to a new service infrastructure.’
However, this is not all bad news from the side of the Wild Rift developers, as Michael Chow revealed:
Riot stresses a lot on the long-term competitive and gameplay health for its IPs. We have seen it in League of Legends as well as Valorant, and it will be doing the same for Wild Rift as well.
