TFT’s sixth birthday event mixes legacy traits, exclusive rewards, and festive fun from June 11 to July 15.
Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is celebrating its sixth anniversary in style with a brand-new event that promises to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable patches in the game’s history. Riot Games is marking six years of its popular autobattler with a nostalgic celebration packed with legacy content, wild gameplay twists, and exclusive rewards for players old and new.
The highlight of the event, which kicks off on June 11 and runs through July 15, is the return of the much-loved Pengu’s Party game mode. This limited-time mode throws players into a chaotic mashup where past TFT Sets collide on the same board. Whether you’ve been with the game since the earliest days of Set 1’s Rise of Elements or are a newcomer enjoying the latest Cyber City, Pengu’s Party offers a unique opportunity to dive into the best bits of every era.

This includes fan-favourite mechanics like Mech-Pilots, Dragonlords, Phantoms, and the jazzy Jazz trait. The mode is not just a nostalgia trip; Riot has added fresh twists with prismatic variants of many returning traits, so even veteran players can expect surprising new strategies and synergies to explore.
The event is designed as a tribute to the whole TFT community—from those who’ve played since day one to those who’ve only recently joined the autobattler craze. Alongside the gameplay extravaganza, Riot is handing out a range of festive cosmetic rewards. Players can claim a brand-new Little Legend called Cuppy for free in its base form, with additional variants available in the Rotating Shop. There’s also a limited-time 6-Year Bash emote and themed cosmetics including the Pengu’s 6th Anniversary Arena and Pengu’s Party Portal, perfect for decking out your game in celebratory style.
This birthday celebration comes as TFT continues to grow its presence in the esports scene, with Riot recently announcing a new Tier 1 esports circuit and partnerships with organisations like the Esports World Cup Foundation. The ongoing commitment to the competitive and casual sides of TFT underlines Riot’s confidence in the game’s longevity.
Beyond the event’s festivities, the 6-Year Bash represents a milestone in the autobattler’s evolution. TFT launched back in 2019, quickly becoming a fan favourite for its blend of strategic depth and ever-changing meta. The game has thrived thanks to its regular updates and seasonal Sets that keep gameplay fresh and players engaged.
Pengu’s Party is more than just a birthday event; it’s a celebration of TFT’s journey and the innovative gameplay that has kept the community hooked through six years. The mode’s return is a golden opportunity to relive iconic moments, rediscover favourite traits, and experience the creativity that has defined TFT’s history.
For anyone curious about diving into the event, expect wild trait combos and chaotic board states as players adapt to the mixed legacy of mechanics and champions. Whether your playstyle favours aggressive combos, tricky synergies, or calculated strategy, Pengu’s Party offers a fresh and festive battleground.
With exclusive rewards, surprise twists, and the chance to play with the best from TFT’s past, Riot Games is inviting players to celebrate six unforgettable years of autobattling. Mark your calendars for June 11 — the party is about to get wild.
