Riot has announced that League of Legends is coming to consoles for the first time (sort of), with the launch of the spinoff game Ruined King: A League of Legends Story.
Set in the world of Runeterra, Ruined King will be a single player role-playing game with turn-based combat.
You’ll venture through two regions of Runeterra, Bilgewater, and the Shadow Isles, forming an unlikely group of beloved League of Legends champions like Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Braum, Yasuo, Ahri, and Pyke.
The game will launch in early 2021 and will be available on Switch, PS4, Xbox, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Ruined King will also be available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S systems, allowing players who purchased it on older consoles to upgrade for free.
Here’s a preview:
Riot Forge Director at Riot Games, Leanne Loombe, explained in a press release that “Ruined King is a great way to expand the world of Runeterra for new players, as well as our League of Legends (LoL) fans.” .
Developed by Airship Syndicate (Battle Chasers: Nightwar and Darksiders Genesis), it will be the first game published by Riot Forge.
“We couldn’t resist the opportunity to work with Riot Forge to expand the epic world of Runeterra,” said Joe Madureira, Airship Syndicate CEO and featured comic artist. “These are some of our favorite champions, and we can’t wait for players to see how we brought Runeterra’s characters, creatures, and environments to life.”
Riot Forge will have more to say about Ruined King: A League of Legends Story in December. We will keep you informed about it.
