New League Of Legends Cinematic From Arcane Studio Continues Show's Story

A new League of Legends cinematic from Arcane animation studio Fortiche sets up the story to come in the game's first season of 2025, and serves in many ways as a continuation of some of the plot threads from the critically acclaimed Netflix show.

League of Legends' first season of 2025 is set to begin January 9 and will be all about Noxus, one of the major political empires in the world of Runeterra and one that became a bigger part of Arcane season 2's story. The cinematic shows several different stories unfolding, as familiar League of Legends characters like Katarina looks to assassinate a target and is stopped by Elise, Noxus general Darius confronts the ice troll Trundle, and Arcane's Mel--who is not yet a playable champion in Riot's MOBA--looks to make her return to Noxus. Mel is currently playable in Teamfight Tactics, and is heavily rumored to be added to League of Legends proper as part of 2025 Season 1, Welcome to Noxus.

As is the case with Arcane, Fortiche brings the world of League of Legends to life in stunning fashion, with an absurd attention to detail and a slightly stylized look that gives each character more life and personality than they've ever had before.
