It’s hard to believe that League of Legends has been going strong for close to a decade, and wilder still, there are no signs of it slowing down.
To kick off a new competitive season, Riot Games released The Call, a staggeringly beautiful CGI cutscene featuring fan-favorite champions across the Runeterra universe. There are crowd-pleasing inclusions like Leona, Pantheon, Voilbear to, well, other ridiculously popular characters such as Sejuani, Tailyah Kaisa, Olaf, and Ornn. I mean, is there even such a thing as an unpopular League of Legends champion? Not really.
Check out The Call cinematic for yourself below. It wasn’t that long ago that League of Legends cutscenes had a cheap look to them, but that’s certainly not the case anymore.

The song that plays throughout, also titled The Call, is available for streaming on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music. This catchy banger was co-written and performed by Hermann Schepetkov, Louis Leibfried, Simon Heeger, Christian Vorländer, while 2WEI and Mr. Herms handled production (Thanks, NME). So it was quite a collaborative effort!
Riot Games loves to debut songs alongside its big cinematics, and the tradition isn’t going away anytime soon.
