Riot Games appears to have anotherLeague of Legendsspin-off title in the works after a new game namedMageseekerleaked via South Korea’s video game ratings board. While Riot’s internally-developed games have been notoriously slow to come to fruition, its Riot Forge publishing arm is picking up speed. Multiple games, branded with theA League of Legends Storysubtitle, have been reported on in recent months.Mageseekeris just the latest example ofLeague of Legends' continued expansion.Only twoA League of Legends Storyreleases have been launched from Riot Forge, to be fair. Both arrived in November 2021. They areRuined KingandHextech Mayhem, a turn-based RPG from Airship Syndicate and a rhythm game from Choice Provisions. Both games received mixed reviews, in part due to both titles struggling to fit into and make sense of the greaterLeague of Legendssetting and its characters. But that hasn’t slowed Riot’s efforts.RELATED:Riot Games Issues Apology for Lackluster League of Legends Season 2023 CinematicThe newest gamespinning off fromLeague of Legendsappears to be namedMageseeker: A League of Legends Story. The description found on the South Korean games rating board’s website refers to it as an action game with the character Sylas as its protagonist, a former Mageseeker. It was given a rating for 12-year-olds and older, implying it features somewhat mature content not unlikeLeague of Legendsand other spin-offs.
Unfortunately, no other information is available regardingMageseeker. With no developer known for the project, it’s difficult to gauge the style or scope of the project. The name of the game,Mageseeker, perhaps implies the game is a prequel story regarding Sylas prior to the events ofLeague of Legends. He once was a Mageseeker, after all, but following a tragic accident was left seeking to escape the Mageseekers he was once a part of.
While the leak from South Korea’s ratings board is about as official as unofficial reveals get, a full reveal should be expected before consideringMageseekera planned full release fromRiot Forge. When that announcement could come is a mystery. That it has already received a rating could mean the game is closer to launch than might otherwise be expected, though. If Riot announces an event in the coming months, keep an eye out forMageseeker’s reveal.
Mageseekerisn’t the onlyLeague of Legendsspin-off currently in development. There’s alsoSong of Nunu, an action-adventure game fromRimeandGyltdeveloper Tequila Works, andConv/rgence, a 2D action-plaformer fromSpeed Brawldeveloper Double Stallion. Expect to hear more about these Riot Forge partner-developed games in the relatively near future.
Mageseeker: A League of Legends Storyis believed to be in development.
