We’re taking the first week of July off to rest, recharge, and stretch our wrists. This will be our fifth year taking a summer break, so we’ve got the drill down now. 

Patch timelines may shift to accommodate, and, if so, individual game teams will share the specifics. In the meantime, some teams like our live operations, anti-cheat, and security teams will be staggering their breaks to make sure everything keeps running smoothly.

Knowing Rioters, you’ll probably see more of us playing Swarm on PBE, getting our trigger fingers just right on VAL console, bringing the menace of Maokai to mobile, running Yasuo down the Path of Champions, and taking a trip down memory lane with Pengu’s Party. 

To learn more about benefits like our mid-year break, check out our comprehensive benefits page to see everything we offer to Rioters. And if you want to take your own break next summer, take a look at our open positions across the company. We just won’t be getting back to you next week.
