It’s called Swarm and players will be able to enjoy it from July to August, not to mention check out new and returning Anima Squad skins that will be available for purchase throughout the event.

Riot Games announced the details of Anima Squad’s return and the new Swarm PvE mode in a press release this week, as well as in a new trailer. Starting on July 17 and running until August 19, players will be able to take part in a new Swarm PvE game mode. Up to four players will be able to join up and take on the role of the Anima Squad members to take on a bullet hell swarm of enemies and fight Primordial boss Champions. By surviving and defeating foes, players will unlock upgrades and abilities, as well as new Anima Squad members to help in the fight.
