Riot Games has designed a temporary PvE game mode for Teamfight Tactics called Tocker’s Trials, which is coming to the PBE servers today. After five years, the TFT team has designed a PvE game mode for players who are seeking an alternative way to play. Tocker’s Trials will drop onto the PBE servers on Aug. 13 and is slated to go live through Patch 14.17 on Aug. 27. The game mode is temporary and will only run until Sept. 24, but that doesn’t mean it won’t return in the future. Many people in the community are excited about the potential Tocker’s Trials has, especially from a teaching standpoint. And others are ready to tackle a Chaos mode option.
