Riot Claims New League Cinematic Isn’t Prepping Noxus Series

Riot Games has unveiled a remarkable cinematic trailer for the 2025 season of League of Legends, designed by Fortiche, the animation studio behind the acclaimed series Arcane. This stunning five-minute video not only showcases the beauty of the Noxus-themed season but has also sparked speculation about potential future shows connecting to the League of Legends universe. Fans have been quick to identify references to Arcane, particularly mentioning characters like Vladimir and LeBlanc, which has led to hopes of further on-screen features in regions like Noxus. However, Riot has clarified that this cinematic aims to set up in-game themes rather than tease a new series.

While Riot Games has not confirmed a new League of Legends TV series, the presence of Noxus in the latest cinematic has fans hopeful for future spin-offs. Furthermore, previous comments from Riot's creative director indicate interest in exploring other regions through potential series adaptations. However, as of now, there is no official announcement regarding a new show.

League of Legends has enjoyed widespread popularity since its launch in 2009, evolving into a substantial franchise that includes several spin-offs and animated adaptations. The Netflix series Arcane, released in 2021, received critical acclaim for its storytelling and animation, raising expectations for any potential future projects within the League universe. With fans eagerly awaiting news about the next installment, Riot is keen to keep the excitement alive while focusing on enriching the gaming experience.
