Among Riot Games' line-up of upcoming games comes the announcement forThe Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story. The game is part of Riot Games' effort to expand its line-up of games based on the setting that was created forLeague of Legends.
The announcement forThe Mageseeker: A League of Legends Storywas already expectedafter some information leaked about the game through the South Korean games rating board’s website. It made fans aware the protagonist will be Sylas, who is one ofLeague of Legends' popular champions. Previously, Riot Forge has produced two other games with the subtitleA League of Legends Story. One of them wasRuined King, a turn-based RPG focusing on the city of Bilgewater, and the other wasHextech Mayhem, a rhythm game with the characters Ziggs and Heimerdinger.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Storywas developed by Digital Sun and will be published by Riot Forge. The game’s description reads: “Play as Sylas and liberate Demacia from tyranny in this action RPG.” There’s not much else known about the game at this stage, other than the 2D pixel art style and that it’ll release sometime in 2023. However,knowing Sylas' backstory fromLeague of Legendsmakes it very easy to see where the game might lead. Sylas is a former Mageseeker turned revolutionary in the kingdom of Demacia. After an unfortunate mishap, he is imprisoned and eventually breaks free through his ability to channel the magic of those around him. Once free, he starts a revolution against the prosecution of mages, gathering allies along the way.
Along withThe Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story, two other games received official announcements as well. These wereSong of Nunu, a single-player adventure game, andConv/rgence, a 2D action-platformer that focuses on Ekko. While bothRuined KingandHextech Mayhemfailed to even scratch the surface of the success of Riot Games’League of Legends, that doesn’t seem to stop the company from giving the fans a variety of different genres and styles of games all set within its core universe. Not to mention thehighly-anticipatedLeague of LegendsMMO.
These games likely mostly draw the attention of gamers who already playLeague of Legendsand not those who have little knowledge of the vast world Riot Games created. However, consideringhow huge the fan base ofLeague of Legendsis, it’s easy to expect one of these games to at least come close to the successLeague of Legendshas enjoyed all these years.
The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Storywill be released in 2023.
