Riot Games is set to welcome League of Legends’ Noxus Season with a bang, unveiling a cinematic and an animated comic as part of its exciting new content strategy for 2025. Here’s everything we know about this thematic season, its special releases, and what it means for players.
The Dawn of the Noxus Season
As Riot Games transitions into the new competitive year, League of Legends players can expect thematic seasons that focus on different regions of Runeterra. According to Riot’s latest Dev Updates, 2025 will feature three distinct thematic seasons, with each centered on a specific region. The first of these will immerse players in the brutal and war-torn realm of Noxus.
This thematic shift will influence not only the gameplay but also the visual and narrative elements of the game. From champion designs to game modes, Noxus will serve as the inspiration for everything as Season One begins on January 9, 2025.
Cinematic: “Welcome to Noxus”
The highly anticipated cinematic, “Welcome to Noxus,” is set to drop on January 7. Cinematics have long been a fan-favorite tradition for League of Legends players, offering rich lore, stunning visuals, and a deeper connection to the game’s universe.
This cinematic promises to highlight the might and ambition of Noxus, showcasing its champions, landscapes, and the fierce ideology that defines the empire.
Comic: “Herald of Ruin”
On January 9, Riot Games will release the animated comic “Herald of Ruin.” The title hints at a connection to Atakhan, the newly introduced neutral monster in Summoner’s Rift. This comic is expected to expand the lore surrounding Noxus and Atakhan, diving deeper into their impact on Runeterra.
The release of this comic will coincide with the official launch of the Noxus Season, marking the beginning of new gameplay updates, skins, and more.
