Riot Forge has revealed that Ruined King: A League of Legends Story has received a surprise launch on Nintendo Switch.
Set in the League of Legends universe, this single-player turn-based RPG comes from Airship Syndicate – the team behind Battle Chasers: Nightwar and Darksiders Genesis.
You must unite an unlikely party of League of Legends Champions – Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Braum, Yasuo, Ahri and Pyke – before setting out to explore Bilgewater and sail for the Shadow Isles on a quest to uncover the secrets of the deadly Black Mist.
These two regions of Runeterra are where the game’s story is set. Bilgewater is known to be “a bustling port city that is home to sea monster hunters, dock gangs, and smugglers from across the known world,” whereas the Shadow Isles are described as “a land cursed with the deadly Black Mist which shrouds the island and corrupts those it comes in contact with.”
Your purchase options are between the Standard ($29.99) digital Deluxe Edition ($39.99) and the physical Collector’s Edition ($129.99). The Deluxe Edition includes Ruined Skins for each character, the Ruination Starter Pack, and additional items. Whereas the Collector’s Edition includes an art book, exclusive Joe Madureira sketch, 12-inch vinyl soundtrack, cloth map of Bilgewater, notebook, pen and Bilgewater mug.
Whichever edition you choose to purchase, those that buy the game “within the first 30 days of its release will receive the Manamune Sword as an in-game weapon for Yasuo.”
Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is now available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
