The Magseekers seek to unearth and control the dangerous magic hidden in the realm, and the young man quickly recruits Sylas to join them. During his time with the Mage Seeker, Cyrus found that magical abilities were far more prevalent than previously thought. Beginning to doubt the correctness of his own actions, he rebelled to save the life of his fellow magician, but it ended in disaster.

As a result, Cyrus was sentenced to life in prison. Trapped in the darkest depths of the mageseeker’s mansion, Cyrus’ lust for revenge began to take root. Join Sylas on a journey of revenge. Break free from your bondage and bring retribution on Demacia.

Riot Forge partners with talented developers around the world to create amazing experiences in the League of Legends universe. Digital Sun’s uncanny ability to bring stories to life in a beautiful 2D pixel style made it a natural choice to bring the world of League of Legends and the champions within it to life.

Check out the interviews below with Javi Giménez, CEO and co-founder of developer Digital Sun, and Rowan Parker, Creative Director of Riot Forge, to learn more about how this partnership came together.

How did it feel when you were asked to work on a League of Legends game as an indie studio?

Jimenez: It was very exciting. We’re big fans of the studio, so it felt like the perfect opportunity to add a little bit of ourselves to the world of Runeterra. Then make a game with your favorite character. Now that it’s almost finished, I can confirm that the game was a lot of fun to build!

What was the biggest challenge in recreating the world of League of Legends?

Giménez: We wanted to get the game’s very popular league champions right in terms of visuals, story and mechanics. The mechanics at the end were a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun translating what Jarvan or Garen or Sylas himself could do in his MOBA into his ARPG, but it was hard to pull off. We hope players will love it!

Why did you choose to partner with Digital Sun?

Parker: Honestly, we loved Digital Sun’s previous game, Moonlighter! Their charming pixel art style won us over and we stayed for the action gameplay. While playing, it was exciting to think of ways they could experiment with League of Legends characters, so we reached out to see if they were open to the possibilities. I’m here, so obviously it worked!

What did you enjoy most about collaborating with Digital Sun?

Parker: The team at Digital Sun are true League of Legends fans. The core team had been playing for years long before we met. They know these champions and have personal histories from thousands of games that they bring to The Mageseeker. I think it really shows that a group of fans made this game with hidden Easter eggs, champions, and passion for the world of Runeterra. It became easier.

What excites you most about seeing League of Legends champions in a Riot Forge game?

Parker: Riot Forge games give you the chance to get up close and personal with your champions in a way that big live service games can’t. During storytelling, you can create vignettes of these characters that explore the motivations and nuances of the champion. Players can also immerse themselves in the world of Runeterra and touch and interact with our factions in a way only video games allow. I really enjoy this opportunity to showcase the true power of a champion at his level while telling a compelling story.
