Earlier this week, League of Legends’ new ‘Awaken’ cinematic dropped. It’s an nearly game-changing video, carry each the characters and world of Riot’s MOBA to life extra successfully than something the developer has created earlier than. So you’ll be able to think about my shock when yesterday, Riot got here out with one other trailer.
You can try the video, which is titled A New Journey, additional down this video. Apparently impressed by a real story, it’s, to place it politely, extraordinarily anime. Set to some jumpy J-pop-style lyrics, animated footage of a League of Legends game is interwoven with some healthful cartoon storytelling.
Opening to a footage of a Yasuo getting completely stomped by a Zed, the video zooms out to search out the particular person taking part in the character staring distraught at a defeat display. In the wake of that crushing loss, the participant by some means turns into co-opted into a school League of Legends workforce, sitting down subsequent to some good-looking gentleman with an applicable quantity of anime blushing. From there, it’s time for the enjoyable to start.
Part of what I favored a lot about Awaken was that characters we’ve not seen earlier than in cinematics obtained their second within the highlight, and A New Journey captures that as effectively. Admittedly, Yasuo and Ahri present up, however so do Braum, Ornn, Caitlyn, and even comparatively new addition to the roster Zoe.
This being an anime homage, it’s no shock that our Yasuo participant’s fortunes are reversed, and everybody’s extraordinarily content material on the finish of the video. You can test it out in its entirety within the video above.
