The latest trailer, released yesterday, has awoken League of Legends fans who had gone into hibernation after last year’s announcement that promised the game to be released in 2022. But it seems like the frost is slowly melting and the heartwarming story of Nunu and Willump’s friendship will soon be fully revealed.

A Unique Gameplay Experience
Song of Nunu will offer a different experience that expands beyond the borders of League’s gameplay. The game’s core mechanics will revolve around the synergy between Nunu and Willump’s abilities, which players will have the chance to combine in new, creative, and strategic ways.
The game weaves music into its core gameplay, drawing inspiration from Nunu’s nomadic tribe, the Notai, who communicate through songs. Nunu’s magical flute will serve players as a gameplay element, linked to his pre-existing lore and providing further insight into his past. The soundtrack is expected to play a pivotal role in enhancing the emotional depth of the story.
An Intimate Adventure of Friendship
Song of Nunu focuses on delivering a warm and intimate adventure that explores the themes of friendship, family, and grief. The immersive journey through the Freljord will take players through familiar locations such as the Bridge of Sorrows and the Frostguard Citadel. Players will have the chance to meet many Freljordian champions, explore local flora and fauna, and possibly encounter known characters from the lore.
An Emotional Narrative
Song of Nunu departs from the traditional gameplay experienced by League players on Summoners Rift. The game’s narrative is centered around the theme of loss and aims to deliver an intimate and emotionally impactful story. Players will clear obstacles in intriguing new ways, while exploring the unwavering joy of friendship and the innocence of Nunu’s character.
Nunu and Willump are the main characters, but other League champions will also appear in the game. Crucial to the story’s development is the Ice Witch Lissandra, whose relationship with Nunu will lead to the boy meeting Willump. The game will provide unique opportunities to delve into the deeper layers of these relationships, often only hinted at in League’s lore.
