Winter Map League Of Legends 2025

As the colder months approach, League of Legends prepares to mark the season with the return of its Winter map. The event brings a familiar sense of nostalgia to players who remember the festive atmosphere that once transformed Summoner’s Rift into a snowy landscape.

This seasonal update reflects Riot Games’ effort to connect the game’s community through shared traditions and visual variety. By reintroducing the Winter map, the developers highlight both the game’s long-running history and its ongoing attention to player experience during the holiday period.

Winter map details

The updated Winter version of Summoner’s Rift transforms the familiar battlefield into a festive landscape filled with seasonal decorations and soft layers of snow. Players step into an environment illuminated by glowing lights, decorated trees, and shimmering ornaments that create a calm yet cheerful atmosphere. The Nexus takes on a distinctive look, appearing as a radiant snow globe surrounded by gentle snowfall.

Several small touches enhance the setting’s charm. A poro rides a miniature train that circles parts of the map, symbolizing the holiday spirit through playful motion. Minions also reflect the celebration—red minions carry shining stars, while blue ones hold small cupcakes, adding subtle variety to each wave. The lanes and jungle paths feature sleds, snowmen, and candy canes, giving players plenty of visual details to notice during matches.

Even Baron Nashor joins the celebration, wearing winter accessories that fit the map’s cheerful tone. Every corner of the Rift emphasizes the season’s aesthetic, making battles feel both familiar and newly refreshing.

When does the new Winter map go live in League of Legends?

The Winter-themed Summoner’s Rift returns on November 19, 2025, launching with Patch 25.13. Players can expect the map to feature a festive design that celebrates the holiday season.
