So I’m completely oblivious about League of Legends, except that I know it’s a tower defense game. I’ve never played it myself, but I am an old gamer in my late 30’s.
My wife and I started watching Arcane today, and watched two episodes. God damn, I’m hooked!! Being a grown up, we had to stop, as we have work, and can’t wait to watch more this weekend. But I just can’t imagine how this world is inspired by LoL. Can someone explain if there actually is a story in LoL?
Riot actually has short stories, comics, and a few books on the lore of the world. It doesn’t show up in the game beyond voice lines, but some of the broad strokes of the Arcane story had been all but confirmed for years. Legends of Runeterra is also a card game set in the same world that expanded on things by letting champions talk to more minor characters (other cards in that case). And they are working on an mmo that will probably dive into the lore much more.
