Mageseeker, aka The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story, the latest title from Riot Games’ Riot Forge, has been officially announced today following leaks in January.
The Mageseeker is billed as a ‘gritty indie 2D hi-bit pixel action RPG that lets players raise a rogue mage army and lead a revolution’. It’s developed by Digital Sun, creators of Moonlighter and will be available on PC and console.
Riot Forge said in a press release: “The Mageseeker is the set in Demacia, a mighty kingdom in the world of Runeterra that seeks to curtail what it deems as forbidden magic while wielding magic themselves to maintain order.
“Gamers play as Sylas, an escaped mage whose quest for vengeance will shatter Demacia’s deceptive peace – a peace built with the blood and sweat of mages. The Mageseeker provides an action-packed fantasy gameplay experience for those looking to experience a story of power, identity, and justice.”

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story will be available on April 18th 2023 for Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4 and PS5, as well as PC via Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store.
