Developer Giant Squid Studios, creators of the highly acclaimed and emotionally charged Rime, have recently teased what looks to be a brand new League of Legends title. Featuring a deeply emotional trailer and a visually stunning in-game hint, Rime fans are certainly in for a ride.
The teaser trailer features a young girl, presumably her heroine from Rime, surrounded by a gorgeous landscape, beasts, and even an angelic voice urging her to “awaken”. The narrator reiterates the call to awaken and sets the tone for the game: “The world is filled with wonders, awaiting exploration and discovery – meet the twenty first sacrifice.” The trailer then transitions to a cryptic in-game scene; the main character standing amongst trees and waterfalls, her flowing hair and dress colors blending seamlessly against a bright and lush backdrop – a beautiful contrast of serenity and adventure.
The in-game teaser contains a wealth of information about the upcoming title; players can expect an experience focused heavily on exploration and discovery, weaving a story about a world of secrets only to be discovered. The mysterious narrator and the glimpse of a mysterious artifact seen in the teaser all lead us to believe that this game will be another emotional journey alongside Rime. And based on the hints in the trailer, it looks like we’re in for a few tears.
The upcoming League of Legends title is set to release in the near future. With the teaser – both the trailer and its in-game rendering – we can expect to see a visually stunning, emotionally charged story. Prepare to shed just a few tears.
