By Rollin Bishop

Surprise! Riot Forge announced today that Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is now available for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam, GOG.com, and the Epic Games Store. Like, right now. The release of the title is a surprise announcement that came out of today's Riot Forge Showcase that provided updates on the League of Legends-adjacent titles in development by outside developers like CONV/RGENCE: A League of Legends Story and the also-now-released Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story.

If you are not familiar, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is a single-player turn-based role-playing video game by developer Airship Syndicate. It was first announced in late 2019 as the first League of Legends video game from a developer that was not Riot Games. The game sees players take control of iconic champions Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Braum, Yasuo, Ahri, and Pyke as they take on and attempt to defeat a common enemy: the Shadow Isles' Ruined King himself, Viego.
