Each year, Riot Games generates excitement among its player community by releasing a high-quality, movie-style cinematic video for League of Legends, featuring a fresh theme for the new season and thrilling battle sequences involving some of the game’s most renowned champions. This year’s cinematic is particularly noteworthy because it was produced by Fortiche, the animation team behind the popular LoL show Arcane.
Welcome to the New Noxus, League Fans
Following the wrap-up of Arcane in November, both League of Legends and Arcane enthusiasts alike were eager to learn which part of Runeterra, the vast continent where all League of Legends lore takes place, Riot Games and Fortiche would explore next. Given the show’s success, Riot Games has endeavored to connect the game and show permanently, hinting at potential spinoff shows in development by Fortiche, exploring new territories like Demacia and Noxus.
In the captivating movie named “Welcome to Noxus“, League of Legends enthusiasts understand that season one of 2025 will center around the iconic militaristic and bloodthirsty area of Runeterra, known as Noxus. This cinematic weaves together three compelling tales within its five-minute duration: first, a solitary Arcane character, Mel, stranded on a Noxian shore; second, an intense, close-quarters fight between Darius and Trundle near a glacier’s edge; and lastly, a thrilling duel between Katarina and Elise within a Noxian combat arena.
Fortiche’s Fight Scenes Do Not Disappoint League Fans
In League cinematics, clashes between iconic champions are common, and it’s exciting to witness Fortiche carrying on this tradition, infusing their unique flair into the fights. A fight that has garnered much praise is the one between Darius and Trundle, both being main top laners in League of Legends. This battle degenerates into the duo discarding their weapons and engaging in hand-to-hand combat as a spectator crowd looks on, symbolizing what it’s like to play the top lane in League.
Instead, the battle between the nimble combatants, assassin Katarina and the transformative spider-dancer Elise, imparts a graceful, balletic ambiance, capturing distinctively their unique personas within League of Legends. Keen-eyed fans have noticed various instances where game abilities are employed in this fight, such as Katarina’s swift blink dash and Elise’s disabling web stun.
The climax of this conflict is particularly noteworthy, as it concludes with Katarina slaying the wealthy Noxian magnate. Instead of Elise participating in the final clash, she departs after the fatal blow has been struck. This scene perfectly encapsulates their characters, both of whom are renowned in lore for their cunning and ruthless assassination skills.
Mel’s Important Role in the Cinematic
Among the League cinematic stories, Mel’s brief adventure stands out uniquely, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of the League of Legends universe. In her struggle, Mel confronts the same Black Rose tethers she faced at the end of Arcane, aiming to suppress them permanently. Similar to Arcane, Mel harnesses her extraordinary powers to transform the malevolent red tethers into gold and secure her freedom. Driven by a desire for retribution, she intends to return to Noxus to correct her mother’s mistakes. This development underscores the strengthening bond between League of Legends the game and League of Legends the TV shows as we approach 2025.
But Wait… There’s More
In a style reminiscent of Marvel, Riot Games and Fortiche have hidden an after-ending sequence revealing the main antagonist not just of Noxus, but also Runeterra – the enigmatic Black Rose. The Black Rose is a covert group that manipulates Noxus and various other aspects of life across Runeterra from behind the scenes.
Following the opening scene, the camera pans to a vast, vacant ballroom, home currently to two more league champions, LeBlanc and Vladimir. Engaged in a discussion about their future strategies, they eventually agree on the need for something grand and attention-grabbing. For the first time in Fortiche’s productions, we catch a glimpse of Black Rose leaders, subtly hinting that the next League of Legends episode will likely revolve around the Black Rose and Noxus.
