Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story, the latest spin-off from developer Riot Games’ Riot Forge label, has been officially revealed following its leak last month, with a release now pencilled in for “spring” 2023 on PC and unspecified consoles.
Mageseeker will be the third release in Riot Forge’s A League of Legends Story spin-off series – arriving after Airship Syndicate’s acclaimed RPG Ruined King and BIT.TRIP creator Choice Provisions’ puzzler Hextech Mayhem – and it’s something entirely different again, this time moving into the realm of gritty “2D hi-bit pixel action-RPG”.
Set in Demacia – a mighty kingdom that seeks to curtail what it considers to be forbidden magic – Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story casts players as Sylas, an escaped mage “whose quest for vengeance will shatter Demacia’s deceptive peace”. It’s described as an “action-packed fantasy gameplay experience” framed by a story of “power, identity, and justice”.
