If I could turn back time
Another Riot Forge production is on the way, this time exploring the world ofLeague of Legends‘ Ekko.Converegence: A League of Legends Storyis a 2D action platformer starring the time-and-space-travelling fighter, and it arrives on Jul 01, 2025.
Developed bySpeed Brawlstudio Double Stallion Games,Convergencefollows Ekko as he deals with a threat to the city of Zaun. Fromtoday’s trailer, it looks like Ekko will be interacting with his future self, as well as rewinding time in the short-term too, to foil some catastrophe.
Convergence‘s platforming and action also makes use of Ekko’s unique time abilities. From gaining an advantage over foes to rewinding a missed jump, it definitely feels like somethingPrince of Persia: Sands of Timeshould be keeping an eye on.
The story follows Ekko through the undercity of Zaun too, soArcanefans should get a little bit more out of this than other locales. But of course, there are champions to fight too. Alongside Ekko, three other championshave been confirmed: Jinx, Camille, and Warwick.
Time after time
It feels like only yesterday thatThe Mageseeker, the latest Riot Forge production, came out. While that one followed the magical rebellion happening within Demacia, Ekko’s exploits in Zaun will be a bit different, both in setting and gameplay.
All of these, as well as the upcomingSong of Nunu, are part of Riot Games’ publishing arm Forge. The idea has been to expand the world ofLeague of Legendsthrough third-party projects, and so far, it seems like it’s been doing alright. Games likeThe MageseekerandRuined Kingwere solid, fresh approaches to Runeterra. Maybe the streak can keep up withConvergence.
Convergence: A League of Legends Storygoes live for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on May 23.
