LOS ANGELES - JUNE 21, 2024 - Today, game developer and publisher Riot Games revealed their latest game mode, Swarm | Operation: Anima Squad, for their upcoming in-game summer event, Anima Squad, for "League of Legends," the world's most-played PC MOBA. Returning from its initial debut in 2022, Anima Squad reimagines classic "League of Legends" champions as cybernetic, animal-themed, super powered warriors standing together against the civilization-ending invasion of the abyssal Primordians.
-
Grab up to 3 friends and choose from a roster of elite Anima Squad members. Then, fight together as humanity’s last hope against the Primordians.

With a WASD control scheme, players will run around in a brand new map of Final City, mowing down enemies, completing missions, and surviving as long as they possibly can.

As the battle unfolds, players can unlock and upgrade powerful weapons and new Anima Squad members to help defeat the swarms of enemies coming to take over and mix up their strategy.

Players can work to permanently strengthen themselves, match over match, by purchasing Power Ups with gold earned in each game. These Power Ups grant permanent buffs to give the team an edge in future field operations, so players can progress further and further in each match.
