Strap in for a spin-off revolution on April 18th
Last month, Riot Forge announced their latest spin-off would launch sometime this Spring. We now have an April 18th release date forThe Mageseeker: A League Of Legends Story, alongside an snazzy trailer that’s bursting with sick 2D pixel art, outrageous magical abilities, and a few lore teases. The action RPG comes from developer Digital Sun, the folks behindMoonlighter, the roguelike shopkeeping-sim hybrid.
The Mageseeker follows Sylas as he escapes captivity and leads a revolution against the kingdom of Demacia, although it seems like he’s now joined by Morgana. It’s funny to think that the spell-stealing mage walks around shirtless even after escaping prison, but hey, I’m not complaining. The trailer shows off the fast-paced, brawling action we can expect, while teasing some cooler aspects as well - hurray for grappling hooks.
I’m a fan of Digital Sun’s Moonlighter, although I wouldn’t say its combat was the highlight. I mostly enjoyed my time shopkeeping, stocking shelves with loot I’d gathered, and watching my profit balloon upwards. It was as if I was in some kind of capitalistic utopia; dungeon raiding at night and getting rich in a cottage core shop during the day. Mageseeker’s action seems way more bombastic, but I’m curious to see if the devs have carried over those management elements - overseeing a revolution is a numbers game, after all.
The Mageseeker will launch on April 18th and will be available on Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC viaSteamandGOGfor £25. There’s also a Deluxe Edition available for pre-purchase that includes some item packs.
