League of Legends First Dev Update of 2025 is Here: Learn What You Can Expect with Season 1 Act 1 Welcome to Noxus

As League of Legends' first Season 1 Act 1 arrives, players will be able to enjoy Welcome to Noxus, the newest way that Riot Games will be handling seasons moving forward. Tying in narrative themes with gameplay elements, mini-games, rewards, and Battle Passes, the way that seasons will look moving forward will be very different from what we've known over the last 14 years.

The first part of the Dev Update gives players a look at Welcome to Noxus, recapping the things we already knew were coming: new boss, new turret behaviour, new mechanic... You can learn more about every change coming to Summoner's Rift in our news piece about that whenthat was all first announced right here!

The dev update delves into a fair few things coming to League of Legends, and it gives us a view of what we can expect for the next four-ish months that Noxus will invade the Summoner's Rift. We get a look at Mel and the new mechanic that she's bringing along, thematic narrative expressions and how the game will be affected by Welcome to Noxus and decisions circulate around this, cosmetics, Esports, and even rotating game modes!

League of Legends Season 1 Act 1 is available for players to enjoy right now.
