What kind of game is this? That trailer didnt tell me much.

for anyone curious like me:

" From Airship Syndicate comes Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, a single-player turn-based RPG featuring the baddest of Bilgewater. Play as Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Braum, Yasuo, Ahri, or Pyke and journey bravely into the ever-creeping Black Mist. Coming to console and PC early 2021. "

It's hard for me to get excited when I don't know what kind of RPG it is. JRPG style? Great, I'm in. WRPG style? Couldn't care less. e: okay turn based and set in Bilgewater according to Steam, that's a decent start

Hopefully it comes with a Legends of Runeterra tie in event.

Pike, Braum, Illaoi, Ahri, Yasuo is one weird combination that MF got herself as a crew here

From Airship Syndicate and is a turn based RPG from the description so wouldn't doubt it if it were like Battle Chasers.

Talking out of my ass but it's a safe assumption the game is based on the devs other game.



ppl should approach with caution when it comes to the expectations here, these stuff meant to draw you into their GAAS.

It's from Airship Syndicate, something close to Battle Chasers.

Yeah anyone interested, this is another game by the same dev:



Looks a lot like FFX battle system.

oh there's even a redhead with guns in there

I don't know about quality though, Runeterra was a great spinoff and I feel like this game appeals to prexisting League fans and not to try and convert new players. like nobody unfamiliar with the universe would care about this at all. I only know the champs through Runeterra

just eye balling Battle Chasers it seems like a game I would like if it had more polish and budget, presumably Riot would step in and provide that

I hate announcement trailers that are cinematic only and don't tell you anything about what the game is going to be like.

I like the premise though, so I'm looking forward to seeing more.

So... Xbox One or no? It'd be a pretty bold move to miss out on a major platform that like, and just support the next gen.

Wow, I didn't expect it to be on Steam. This is a cool idea but I really don't care for much of the League characters designs tbh.
Can't steal players if you don't encroach a bit first.

Battle Chasers is quite good and pretty fun. The combat isn't the deepest ever, but it's engaging and they crafted a pretty competent project. And Riot (Tencent) has the money to splash the cash to get the good production values.

I still haven't had the change to play Battle Chasers, but I always thought it was really interesting. So definitely I'm following Ruined King: A League of Legend.

I bet this is Diablo/Torchlight like game. I doubt it's a proper AAA with how fast it went from announcement to release.

I'll take it. Could never get into League but think all the characters are cool. Enjoyed what little I played of Battlechasers.

I'm really liking the art style of this so far. The choice of characters is definitely interesting. I wonder how those 6 got together.

At least this one isn't far off.

Braum and Ahri in.. Bilgewater? How did that happen?
At the end of Kin of the Stained Blade Spirit Blossom cinematic you see Ahri and Yasuo heading to Bligewater. Now how Braum got there who knows. Also why is Pyke not killing MF... He hates captains and liars and cheats lol.

Not forgiven. Not forgotten. See the story of brothers torn asunder.Created in partnership with:Directed by HaolinHaoliners Animation http://haoliners.net/Pa...

Personally battlechaser was a good game, and Darksider Genesis was a really great co-op overhead action rpg-lite. This being made by the same team with a AA budget inspires confidence, but ill wait to see game play as always.

The team is thrilled with the reactions of the trailer so far! While the trailer doesn't show gameplay, it does reveal the gamut of different personalities the party will consist of. My lips are sealed however, so I'm not answering any questions. Just wanted to chime in and say, early 2021 is just around the corner and we can't wait to share more info soon™!

Everything about the style and attitude of that was cringy as hell imo. The developer is good so we'll see, but yeesh.

I'm shocked it's going to be on Steam and EGS though.

Can a mod pls edit the title with " dev by Airship Syndicate"? Riot Games is "just" the Publisher.

I was too fast and didn't see the game being developed by a different studio

Yeah, that's arguably the biggest surprise. If there's one company out there that would have no problem launching a launcher, it would be Riot who have been operating all of their games off their own infrastructure for the entirity of their existence. So, kinda crazy to see them release stuff on Steam and EGS instead of a theoretical Riot Launcher.
