Teamfight Tactics Double Up Mode Becomes Permanent Feature

Riot Games has announced that Teamfight Tactics' Double Up will now be a permanent game mode. TFT is an auto-battler released in 2019 that features characters from Riot Games' first release League of Legends as playable units. This is similar to another of Riot's titles, Legends of Runeterra, an online card game that also features many familiar figures from League of Legends. In the midseason update, Teamfight Tactics is reportedly receiving its first unit that is not a champion in League, the crime boss Silco, from Riot's Netflix show Arcane.

Double Up is a game mode that allowed players to queue up for TFT games as a pair and work together to win. Players can send items and units to their partners as well as coming to their aid with reinforcements if they finish their own fight early. These changes make for a unique twist to the free-for-all gameplay of TFT. The game mode has been in beta on the client since patch 11.23 in early November.
