What is the Swarm game mode?

Swarm is a PvE game mode in League of Legends, meaning you will be fighting against computer-controlled enemies. However, far from the gameplay of base League of Legends, Swarm uses the WASD control scheme.

Reminiscent of other “bullet heaven” titles such as Vampire Survivors and Holocure, Swarm powers you up the longer you play. Collect and upgrade your weapons each run to mow down the enemies. Players can also permanently augment themselves by purchasing permanent buffs that persist across runs.

The goal is to wipe out enemies, complete missions, and survive for as long as you can against the enemies: the Primordians. They are the harbingers of the next evolution event, and the Anima Squad needs to prevent them from extinguishing humanity. The Swarm gamemode features several boss fights against the Primordian leaders. Can you beat the final boss?

Swarm goes live in League of Legends patch 14.14, scheduled for July 15, 2025.
