Riot Games hinted at the potential introduction of 'League Classic' in a developer update video on its official YouTube channel.

On the 27th, a Riot Games representative confirmed, "The League of Legends Classic plan is real, and we will reveal further details on July 12." With 'League of Legends' having maintained long-term success since its 2009 launch, this project is expected to draw a large-scale return of dormant players.

'League Classic' is being led by Paul Bellezza, the head of League of Legends development. Bellezza joined Riot Games as an intern during its early days and rose to his current position as head of development.

In the released video, the development team mentioned recreating the game environment of specific seasons favored by players, such as Seasons 1, 2, and 4, as well as restoring iconic items like 'Heart of Gold.' Early game design elements, such as past jungle pathing, were also discussed.

Nostalgic content, including the original appearances of champions and beta-era balance, is also under review. The Riot Games representative explained that while the conversation in the video reflects casual discussions among developers, they deeply understand that fans want to relive their past experiences. Active internal discussions are underway to bring these ideas to fruition.

Riot Games plans to share more specific news during the Mid-Season Invitational finals on July 11. Further details regarding the 'League Classic' project will be released sequentially through official channels.
