With the commencement of the 2024 season, Riot has ushered in a wave of new changes and updates to Summoner’s Rift. Alongside these alterations, Riot unveiled a cinematic short film on the evening of January 10th (Vietnam time), announcing the arrival of the new season. Following a period devoid of notable cinematics, Riot has now presented the MV “Still Here,” leaving the League of Legends community genuinely exhilarated.
Throughout the cinematic, viewers witness unprecedented battle scenes, featuring Aatrox launching an attack on Demacia, creating astonishment. The appearance of the Kayle-Morgana sister duo, reminiscent of Quinn and her squadron, adds an element of confusion. Noteworthy moments include glimpses of an aged Yasuo, the duo of Ashe and Tryndamere, and the pervasive presence of Kindred across Runeterra, satiating the cravings of League of Legends enthusiasts for compelling narratives.
Impressive Character Depictions
The most striking aspect of the cinematic lies in the impeccable portrayal of familiar champions, as evidenced by the breathtaking scenes featuring these iconic characters.
In various forums, the community is ablaze with discussions about the exceptional visual designs of the well-known champions. Particularly, champions like Morgana and Ashe have captivated gamers worldwide, including both Vietnamese and international players. However, some players have also noted Riot’s intention behind showcasing Yasuo’s elderly appearance. As one of the earliest champions in League of Legends, Yasuo’s portrayal in his later years subtly emphasizes that champions in the game can undergo a lifecycle, not entirely immortal, except for those originating as divine beings.
Yasuo’s Aging Appearance Sparks Enthusiasm
Yasuo’s aging appearance has especially resonated with audiences, leading many fans to express their excitement and admiration for Riot’s creative direction.
Moreover, there is a prevailing sentiment that witnessing less frequently explored champions in Riot’s cinematics adds an extra layer of intrigue. League of Legends boasts a plethora of characters with compelling storylines that Riot could delve into, rather than focusing solely on the familiar names like Lux, Ezreal, or Ahri.
