League of Legends Lore to be Updated for a more Consistent Universe
Riot Games is taking a closer look at the lore of League of Legends, with plans to update the game’s storytelling to create a more consistent universe. In a recent developer update, Riot addressed key features and developments, including the future of the game’s lore.
According to Laura DeYoung, the head of IP creative at Riot Games, the studio has recognized inconsistencies in the storytelling and worldbuilding of Runeterra and is working to address them. The goal is to tie up loose ends and create connections between different parts of the universe that may not have existed before.
This effort will ensure that all of League of Legends’ stories, including side stories like Arcane, exist within the same canon. The aim is to make the world feel more believable and allow for meaningful character development.
The process of updating the lore will be gradual, but players and fans can expect a more consistent story across all of Riot’s products. Even side stories like Arcane will be part of the same lore umbrella. The 2024 ranked season will mark a significant addition to the canon, with the release of an integrated season start cinematic.
Overall, this update to the League of Legends lore will provide players with a more cohesive and immersive experience within the game’s universe.
