What is the Wild Rift Swain release date?

Thanks to the Wild Rift patch 4.2 preview, the release of Wild Rift Swain is now confirmed. Swain is set to release first, followed by Volibear and Ornn during a later patch. This then begs the question, ‘what is the Wild Rift Swain release date?’

According to Wild Rift’s official Twitter page, Swain’s release date is May 26 at 00:01 UTC. Expect a small event promoting the champion as well, which allows players to eventually unlock Swain after completing the in game missions. This event will only be for a short period of time, which is a trend that occurs with all Wild Rift’s new champion releases.

Considering the last champion to release was Twitch, it’s honestly a little surprisng that Riot is going with another single champion release instead of a duo. Typically, they would have followed up by launching both Volibear alongside Ornn. As shown in the visul above, Ornn and Volibear debut on June 20, almost a month after Swain’s release.

This is around three weeks, so the two brothers are likely debuting on Wild Rift patch 4.2a. But Wild Rift Swain’s release showcases a slowing down in Wild Rift’s overall update schedule. The game, as a whole, has been updating slower and slower lately.

Time between patches has extended, and champion releases are more spaced out. But Wild Rift patch 4.2 has been promised to be a massive update to the game, and should be rather exciting to play.
