Soul Fighter is a six-week event coming to the worlds of League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra. It will include new skins, champions, game modes, and more.

The event is set to revolve around the fighting game genre. According to Riot:

This article will provide all the details and thorough explanations about the upcoming Soul Fighter event.
League of Legends Soul Fighter event: New game modes, skins, and more
Although the event brings enormous amounts of content across many of Riot’s popular titles, the most exciting updates are set for League of Legends. Here’s a quick summary of all the content to come:
- New game modes: League of Legends: Arena, Tournament of Souls
- New champion: Naafiri
- New skin: Soul Fighter
- Event pass: Soul Fighter 2023 Pass
Here are all the details:
League of Legends: Arena
The reveal of Soul Fighter and the new 2v2v2v2 game mode is finally here, and it will be called League of Legends: Arena. It will feature four arenas with different themes, sizes, and terrain densities.
There will be four teams, each with two players, and they will all engage in rotating rounds of combat. After each round of combat, they will gain augmented upgrades to buff your champion’s abilities. There will be a shopping area where teams pick the augments and then get ported to an arena, a different one each round. Subsequently, the last remaining team will be victorious.
It’s unclear if it will become a permanent game mode. Riot wants to run it for the summer event at least, keep introducing updates, and use the feedback from players. If it becomes popular enough, League of Legends: Arena might become a permanent game mode.
Tournament of Souls
In the League of Legends client, there will be a new game mode, a style-rating-focused combo-battler called Tournament of Souls. Players will take on Samira’s role and earn a Reputation by playing in League games. Subsequently, it will enable them to face unique foes and grant Samira access to new skills so she can progress in the competition.
The main goal is to defeat each of the ten opponents to win the tournament. Following that, they can access the Story and Expert levels (different difficulties), earn rewards for each victory, and take on new challenges.
New champion: Naafiri
