Originally revealed in 2019 during the 10th anniversary celebration of League of Legends, Ruined King's release was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] A release date was not provided by the developer or publisher until it was launched, alongside Hextech Mayhem, on November 16, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. It is backwards compatible with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with free upgrades to the native versions to be available in the future.[3]
