The ES TIMES — Riot Games has confirmed that the next Hall of Legends inductee will be announced in May 2025, marking the second professional player to receive this prestigious honor.

The news was shared during the League of Legends Season 2 Developer Update, which concluded with a teaser trailer for what's to come.

Andrei van Roon, Head of League Studio at Riot Games, said: "In May, we'll celebrate another professional player who has made their mark in League. This player will be inducted into the Hall of Legends. They've inspired the next generation of players, and we look forward to giving them the recognition they deserve."

Introduced in 2024 in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the Hall of Legends is an annual initiative to celebrate the most influential and iconic players in League of Legends history.

Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok was the first to be honored, with a special celebration that included an in-game event ticket, legacy-inspired skins - including a premium Ahri skin - and even a custom Mercedes-AMG SL 63. A portion of the content revenue associated with the celebration was shared with Faker.

Fans can expect a similar celebration in 2025, though Riot has yet to reveal exact details. As before, the inductee will be selected by a jury of representatives from regional leagues and the broader esports community, based on players’ regional and international achievements, their impact on the landscape, and more.

In addition to the Hall of Legends news, Riot also announced a brand-new game mode, Brawl, coming in Season 2, and introduced the new champion, Yunara, who will make her debut in Act 2.
