Riot Games is ringing in the New Year with a fresh season of League of Legends — the first of three season launches that players will experience in 2025.
In typical Riot fashion, there's a cinematic trailer to go along with it, but this year's video is a major step-up from its predecessors.
For one thing, it's absolutely stunning — thanks, of course, to a lending hand from Fortiche, the animation studio that brought Arcane to life.
But more importantly, the five-minute video is leaving fans of Netflix's Arcane hopeful that this Noxus-themed trailer doubles as an exciting prelude to another League of Legends show.There's a couple of apparent nods to Arcane that make their way into the end of the new cinematic.
One of the biggest moments in the trailer that merges series with game comes when Black Rose members Vladimir and LeBlanc discuss how they need to take "advantage of the opportunity that has washed up our shores," which we're assuming is a reference to Mel.
