Today Riot Forge and Double Stallion Games announced the release date of the next League of Legends spin-off game Convergence: a League of Legends Story.
Announced all the way back in 2019 as CONV/RGENCE, the game has now lost the weird stylization for a more SEO-friendly style (at least beyond the logo) and it's coming out for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store) on May 23, 2023.
If you're not familiar with it, here's how it's officially described:
In Convergence: A League of Legends Story players will explore the spectacular world of Zaun as Ekko, a young inventor with an ingenious device to manipulate time. Follow the journey of Ekko, a fan-favorite League of Legends Champion, as he discovers that the power to change time comes with many consequences. Developed by Double Stallion Games, Convergence is a 2D Action Platformer with an incredible art style that focuses on tight dynamic combat and unique exploration opportunities afforded by Ekko’s ability to travel in space and time.
Alongside the announcement, we got a story trailer, which you can watch below.
This follows the release of another A League of Legends Story, The Mageseeker, of which you can read our review.
Our Austin Suther defined the game as "an epic tale with weighty combat," also mentioning that it made him "grow attached to Sylas" and left him "yearning for more combat and lore." Well, there you go, Austin.
