  • Feb. 7: A total of eight hours of downtime between 10am CT and 6pm CT
  • Feb. 8: A total of eight hours of downtime between 10 am CT and 6pm CT

The official launch of TFT Set 6.5 will take place on Feb. 16 via Patch 12.4. The Mid-Set update will include new champions like Renata Glasc and Silco.
