Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is a 2021 turn-based role-playing video game developed by Airship Syndicate and published by Riot Forge. A spin-off to Riot Games' League of Legends, Ruined King uses characters and a setting originating in its parent title.
The game is set in Bilgewater, a bustling pirate city, and the Shadow Isles, a cursed region filled with a corrupting force called the Black Mist. The player controls a party of six characters from League of Legends to find the source of the Black Mist. The playable characters are Pyke, Braum, Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Ahri, and Yasuo.
Originally revealed in 2019 during the 10th-anniversary celebration of League of Legends, Ruined King's release was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A release date was not provided by the developer or publisher until it was launched, alongside Hextech Mayhem, on November 16, 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released on March 2, 2023.
