When will Season 18 of League of Legends: Wild Rift begin? Introduction to the start time of Season 18 for LOL Mobile

Presumably, many summoners have already quietly felt the "calm before the storm" in the test server — Season 18 is coming! When will Season 18 of League of Legends: Wild Rift start? According to convention, the new season of the LOL mobile game often follows a major version update. From the content exposed in the current 6.2 version and the official wording of "new changes for the season are about to be launched," we can boldly speculate that Season 18 will officially debut in early July 2025, with the expected start time likely around July 17. Of course, the final date will still be subject to the official announcement, but from the rhythm of the test server, this time point is very reliable.

In the new season, the honor system will become stricter — the system will not only focus on wins and losses but also take into account the player's behavior. For example, actively cooperating, being polite in voice chat, and completing the entire match online... these will all earn you points. Conversely, negative, AFK, and malicious behaviors will seriously affect your rating, and may even result in temporary restrictions from ranked play. In other words, fair competition is not just a slogan, but it will actually impact your progress in the season.

High-end players are in for a treat! Season 18 has specially adjusted the promotion mechanism for "Grandmaster," breaking it down into multiple stages. Promotion is no longer an all-or-nothing affair, nor is it a one-time failure that ruins everything. Instead, it allows players to see themselves gradually climbing to the peak throughout the season, making the rank progression more rhythmic and controllable.

Additionally, the victory data from the "Climber's Ascent" mode will also be included in the ranked progress in Season 18, meaning you can relax a bit — in this relatively casual battle mode, you can still earn ranked progress, allowing you to steadily climb without having to grind ranked matches every day.

Of course, the season-exclusive rewards won't lack surprises. The legendary ranked skin for Season 18 is "Crested Colossus Galio." As long as you reach the designated rank and meet other conditions, you can add this unique skin to your collection, adding another piece worth boasting about to your season's loot.

This concludes the information on when Season 18 of League of Legends: Wild Rift will start. The arrival of Season 18 means a new game rhythm, new discipline requirements, and richer reward gameplay. If all goes well, we can expect this update around July 17. Before the official launch, it's recommended that everyone take the time to get familiar with the changes already implemented in the test server, so that once the version goes live, you can immediately get into the swing of things! Wishing everyone a fun and exciting time in the canyon in the next season!
