Unfortunately, the project is still at a very early stage of production, so further details about it are not known. However, judging from the trailer, the title will feature heroes known from the game, such as Jinx, Ekko or Ezreal.
And that's not all when it comes to TV and film topics related to the work of Riot Games. A documentary League of Legends Origins, telling the story of the iconic MOBA, from a small demo to a global phenomenon, debuted on Netflix. What's more, the film has a big name at the helm - Leslie Iwerks, nominated for an Oscar for Recycled Life, who earlier created productions about Disney Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic, a special effects company founded by George Lucas.
