What is the Wild Rift Yuumi Release Date? (UPDATED)

The recent 2022 Riot Games stream announced Wild Rift Yuumi to release. This begs the question, when should players expect Yuumi to release? Similar to all the other champion release, the community expected Wild Rift Yuumi to soon after patch 3.0 does. Since the patch scheduled to drop on January 19, expect Yuumi to drop rather soon after. The speculated Wild Rift Yuumi Release date WAS around January 20. But with patch 3.0 having arrived, there is no sign of Yuumi.

In the developer talk, director Alan Moore states “Yuumi will be joining next month.” As part of an entire event, and with 3.0 having released, it’s clear that she’s not coming any time soon. A lot of the players assumed Yuumi would be added in alongside Sett, but with patch 3.0 finally here, that is clearly not the case. No updates on Wild Rift Yuumi, so the chances of Yuumi joining before January finishes is highly unlikely. This places the date of Yuumi’s release at a speculated date of February 15-18. From the most recent patch 3.0, Wild Rift developers clearly have no intent in pushing content forward at a good pace.

Patches are supposed to occur once every two weeks. And if the champion releases a week after that speculated time frame, that would technically place Yuumi’s release on February 9. But it’s become quite clear, such optimism over punctuality is wasted on Wild Rift’s scheuduling.

Quick Yuumi Overview

For those who aren’t familiar with Yuumi’s playstyle, she’s one of the most infamous supports in League PC. She becomes invulnerable by attaching onto an ally, granting them heals, movement speed, and barriers. In addition, Yuumi shoots out a small projectile that slows and damages target on hit. Her ultimate, which seems far weaker in Wild Rift’s iteration, sends an area of effect multiple hitting wave that snares the enemy once it hits three times in a row.

In Conclusion

A new year, with the same problems. The previous speculated date was highly hopeful in that the developers really meant their words when the next year would mark more meaningful changes. But seeing as how only Sett joins the game in 3.0, and a whole week after the patch drops, the community is made aware that the game is going at a snail’s pace.

Yuumi will be a very interesting addition to Wild Rift. Her simple playstyle and brain dead supporting makes her rather perfect for the mobile MOBA, but at the same time the Yuumi pick is bound to bring a lot of toxicity to Wild Rift. Whatever the case, at least the community knows that Wild Rift developers are pushing insanely hard to continue to improve the game.
