‘Hextech Mayhem’ is a rhythm runner set in the ‘League of Legends’ universe

Riot Games is getting into platformers with Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story.

Announced on Tuesday, Hextech Mayhem is a speedy single-player rhythm runner developed by Choice Provisions in collaboration with Riot Forge — the company’s publishing arm. It’ll be available on Nov. 16 for Nintendo Switch and PC on Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG. Oh, and it’s coming to Netflix too via the platform’s new games section.

Hextech Mayhem stars Ziggs, a well-known League of Legends  champion, bombing and bouncing his way to a beat through levels. Think Super Mario Brothers, only with a lot more explosions and a soundtrack that you’ll literally need to bop through. 

Check out the Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story  announcement trailer for yourself below.

It’s been one big moment after the other for Riot the past few weeks. First, the studio announced more than 600 million people had played Runeterra games. Then, League of legends  did a crossover with fellow tiny video game Fortnite. Oh, and the 2021 Worlds finals had fans taking to the streets en masse. I think the company is doing well for itself these days. Maybe, anyway!
