Still Legendary
Celebrate Runeterra
with TFT Flare.
Rivals clash in the desert, a nautical confrontation at the docks, an escape in the midst of city chaos. All things that have slipped through the details of Runeterra's history books, but have landed in the Lorefinder of the Grand Library, detailing the possibilities of The Convergence. To open our big end of year Set drop, our team wanted to write a love letter to League Lore.
I was part of the creative roundtable shaping the cinematic from concept through delivery, helping translate that love letter into a story that could bring the set's characters, worlds, and sense of adventure together. Partnering with the amazing animation team at Brunch and tapping Arcane music writer Mako to create a medley of music from iconic League of Legends cinematics really brought everything to life.

Lore & Legends gave us an unusual opportunity: rather than introducing a single character or mechanic, we wanted the cinematic to celebrate the breadth of Runeterra itself. The story needed to move between characters, regions, and tones while still feeling like one cohesive adventure—and it had to balance the grandeur of League with TFT's playful personality.
A love letter to League lore.
