Riot Games’ seminal MOBA League of Legends is restructuring as it adopts a seasonal style, starting earlier this week on Thursday, January 9, 2025. If you haven’t checked it out, it came out with a badass cinematic trailer, with a banger piece of music featuring TEYA.
The trailer was produced in partnership with Fortiche, the award-winning animation studio responsible for Arcane.
This is League of Legends’ first themed season, and players can enjoy major gameplay updates, new champion Mel Medarda, themed cosmetics, and more as the season rolls out, as well as a thematic update for Viktor to align him closer to Arcane’s version.
This will be the first Season for the Year 2025, which is slated to be segmented into Two Acts, comprising three Seasons in total this year, with each Season thematically exploring a different region in Runeterra.
Season One also gives players a first glimpse of League of Legends’ new rewards system, introducing the new Battle Pass, which drastically changes the way players earn skins.
