Ruined King: A League of Legends Story sends a party of League of Legends champions from Bilgewater toward the Shadow Isles, where the group seeks to uncover the secrets of the deadly Black Mist. The journey pairs a bustling port city with a mysterious island setting, giving the adventure a clear focus on exploration and a threat rooted in the League of Legends universe.
At its core, this is a single-player, turn-based RPG built around assembling an unlikely group of champions. Players can configure their party, while the Lane Initiative System gives the combat its named tactical framework. That combination makes the choice of who travels together part of the game’s design, rather than presenting the journey as a solo champion’s story. The art style is by comic book artist Joe Madureira, adding a distinctive visual identity to the setting and cast.
Its appeal lies in bringing familiar champions into a focused expedition across Bilgewater and the Shadow Isles, rather than in a multiplayer mode.
