To welcome Harbor to the fold, Riot Games also rolled out a number of digital activities for players to enjoy. Firstly, Riot Games released snippets and a Community Event Supercut so that fans can relive the excitement, thrills, and best moments from the Harbor community event in Mumbai. Following this, the publisher released the behind-the-scenes (BTS) making of Ankit Panth aka V3nom’s Harbor cosplay on its socials.
