The official League of Legends Twitter account has announced the release of the new 7 season cinematic, scheduled for release on January 2022. The tweet had a worrying question: “A new journey awaits you on January 7th. How will you answer?" The phrases have caused many to speculate about potential characters or themes this video might bring.
This announcement follows a long tradition in League with a new video released before the start of the competitive season. These videos often contain an original song and music video or narrative.
It's unclear what Riot Games will do with the 2019 season video, although other seasons like 2022's Awaken have intense action and little impact on the in-universe plot carried over into the game.
The new season cinematics have been adjusted to coincide with the start of Season 12. Only a few days left until the upcoming ranked season.
Even though last competitive season ended a few months ago on November 15, players won't have to wait any longer to get back in competition.
