Are you ready to explore the rich lore of Runeterra? Because you – wait, what do you mean “what the heck is a Runeterra?” That’s the world League of Legends takes place in. Yes, it has a name. Yes, the game actually has a story, which is… well, obviously not front-and-center, which is one of the reasons that Riot Games is apparently working on developing an anime based on the popular game, according to esports commentator Rod Breslau. Breslau also claims that sources are reporting on an upcoming digital card game entitled Legends of Runeterra, further doubling down on story content.
Since this month marks the 10-year anniversary of LoL, it would make sense for Riot to announce these things during the upcoming anniversary event later today. Supposedly, the game’s mobile version is also due for release today, with pre-registration briefly available in both China and Brazil before it was turned back off. It sounds like a lot of new ways for fans to explore the game’s backstory, although we’ll have to see tonight how much is announced. (Remember all that teasing about an MMO at the start of the year? We do.)
