Riot Games, the developer behind League of Legends, LoL: Wild Rift and Legends of Runeterra, has announced the return of the fan-favorite event on July 14, bringing new in-game content and out-of-game events to all three games for a 10 week magical experience.
In the Star Guardian universe, young warriors are chosen to protect the light of the stars. They are destined to burn bright, but collapse as furiously as they burn. And now it’s time to bring the light to League of Legends, League of Legends: Wild Rift and Legends of Runeterra with unique content.
“Star Guardian is a world our players love and have been wanting to see more of for so many years,” said Executive Producer on “League of Legends” Jeremy Lee. “We’re so excited to be bringing it back in this big way, across multiple titles and parts of Riot, and working with so many amazing partners to really show the potential of this universe to our players, as well as potential new fans who love this kind of magic just as much as us.”
League of Legends
League of Legends will receive 12 new Star Guardian skins, an in-client narrative experience titled Another Sky, a new champion Nilah, and an event pass with new unique content. Of course, there will also be new Emotes, Chromas and Wards as well as Ultimate Spellbook game mode return.
The developers describe Star Guardian: Another Sky as a compelling story of love and loss, forgiveness and friendship seen through the eyes of a brand new crew led by Akali and Kai’Sa. At the same time, by completing in-game champion missions, they’ll increase their “bond” with the various Guardians, unlocking rewards and discovering new stories along the way.
League of Legends: Wild Rift
For mobile users, League of Legends: Wild Rift features new and returning Star Guardians during this event, as well as its own in-client narrative experience featuring the Star Guardians’ familiars.
Players can look forward to Star Guardian skins for Orianna, Seraphine, Ahri, Senna, Xayah, Rakan and Miss Fortune as well as feast their eyes on Redeemed Star Guardians Xayah and Rakan – love wins!
The Wild Rift-exclusive narrative experience will let participants witness Xayah’s journey to save Rakan first-hand with the help of some brand new Star Guardians. They’ll level up their squad and their familiars through a series of in-game missions, battle chaos monsters in combat encounters, and follow the fearless Guardians as they learn to forgive and forge new friendships.
