Riot Games is revamping the lore of League of Legends to create a unified canon for the game’s expansive universe. In a recent developer update, Riot addressed the need to address inconsistencies and tie together various elements of the League universe. The goal is to make the world more believable and enhance character development.
The studio plans to gradually integrate all of League’s stories, including side stories like Arcane, into the same canon. This means that all future storytelling, including cinematics and other products, will honor and align with the established lore. The process will begin with the release of the 2024 ranked season start cinematic.
Riot acknowledges that the current fragmentation of the lore can make it difficult for players to invest deeply in the story. By creating a shared canon, they aim to provide a more consistent and immersive experience for fans of the game.
