What game is coming soon?
Riot Forge's Upcoming Game Was Accidentally Revealed
The world of Runeterra is large with multiple regions, and over 160 champions and many more characters thanks to the LoL card game Legends of Runeterra. Recently, Riot also revealed they were working with other developers to release more games set in Runeterra.
Ruined King: A League of Legends story was one of the first games of this series to be released and we know that a game about Ekko is in the works, as well as one about Nunu & Willump exploring the frigid lands of the Freljord. Now, another game has been leaked to the public.
League of Legends Game About Demacia Revealed
South Korea leaked the upcoming Riot Forge game... well not South Korea, but the South Korean game ratings committee did. They released information regarding this upcoming title. Now, fans know what it will be called, who we're going to play as and roughly know a plot even.
According to the information given the game will be called something like Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story, which is fitting, since players will be playing as Sylas.
Mageseekers are a Demacian order who must seek out magic in Runeterra. Being a part of the Mageseekers is the only way to be accepted as someone who has magical abilities in Demacia. Sylas was once one of them before turning the tide and becoming a revolutionary. He was imprisoned by the Mageseekers and now vows revenge.
The 2020 League of Legends cinematic depicted the battle between Sylas and Garen, with Lux ultimately defeating him by summoning Galio. Since then, we haven't had much lore progression, so this game could definitely add to the story. Would the game let us explore as Sylar while he was still one of the Mageseekers, or will the game keep going right after the cinematic, completely ignoring what happened to Demacia during the Ruination?
We don't know for sure, so we will have to wait for official information from Riot, but as many players have guessed already, there will be a game set in Demacia coming. The game is specified to be a console game by the Korea game ratings' committee, so it will likely be released for Nintendo Switch again.
