Ruined King: A League of Legends Story gameplay
Ruined King is a "turn-based narrative-driven RPG" according to RiotForge .
The game is based on Miss Fortune, Illaoi and Pike from Bilgewater. The Ionian champions Yasuo and Ahri are also playable as Braum descends from the Freljord tundra to provide support and stability to this new unit.
The game takes place in Bilgewater, a port city populated by sea monster hunters, dock gangs, and smugglers from all over the known world; and the Shadow Isles, a land cursed by the deadly Black Mist.
In the gameplay we saw in the Game Awards trailer, your favorite league characters explore Runeterra in more depth, taking on recognizable foes in turn-based combat. You can watch the full trailer below.

It was co-designed with the creators of the Darksiders Genesis Airship Syndicate to bring the ports to life.
