And now at The Game Awards, Riot Forge has shared the first gameplay video of the upcoming Ruined King: A League of Legends Story game that is scheduled to release in 2021.
According to Riot Forge, Ruined King introduces a “new spin” on the indie RPG genre, especially with combat.
Players will be able to level up the champion, and each champion will have Attack Power, Will, Stamina, Physical Defense, Magic Defense, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, Haste, Evade, Armor Penetration, Magic Penetration, and Lifesteal.
Ruined King uses a turn-based, lane initiative combat system meaning champions will take turns casting lane, instant, and ultimate abilities. Moreover, the game is also going to have swords, pistols, and Warmog’s armor that can be equipped to champions.
