Riot has released a strategy card game set in the League of Legends universe titled Legends of Runeterra. To promote their new game, Riot released a group of short animated videos last month, which they called Tales of Runeterra.
And as we all have seen in the past, Riot is incredibly good at producing cinematic trailers for League of Legends. With this in mind, we decided to feature these animated videos for today’s post.
