The “Into the Arcane” set for Teamfight Tactics may have just made its debut last week, but true to the nature of all things Arcane, it’s continuing to evolve. In celebration of the last episodes of Arcane hitting screens, the folks behind TFT have announced something exciting: key characters from the series will be featured in the game next week. Word of caution for those yet to finish the show—this new video teaser is packed with spoilers.
If you’re an Arcane enthusiast who’s already dived into TFT’s 13th set, you might have scratched your head wondering why fan-favorites like Viktor and Warwick were MIA. Well, the upcoming patch is set to answer those questions. In a recent announcement, Shawn Elizabeth Main, the lead designer for set 13, unveiled that Viktor, Mel, and Warwick are gearing up to join Into the Arcane as brand-new 6-cost units.
This marks a first for Teamfight Tactics, diving into the realm of 6-cost units. And these additions bring the kind of power that justifies their hefty price tag. We catch a glimpse of these champions’ abilities in the video, showcasing them in their full glory from the final act of Arcane. They look poised to single-handedly reshape the outcome of any match. However, their strength is balanced by their rarity, appearing only in the late stages of a game—and even then, they might be elusive.
The announcement video sheds more light on how the development team juggled the thrill of releasing the set while keeping some of its juiciest units under wraps. It also delves into their creative process, ensuring these new champions pack the same punch in-game as they do onscreen.
You won’t have to wait long to try them out; these 6-cost units will be integrated into Teamfight Tactics with the upcoming patch slated for launch on December 5th.
