The Mageseeker
Launch Trailer

The rebellion is upon us! After years in the darkness locked in a Demacian prison cell, Sylas broke out his chains and is now convoking everyone to take back what is rightfully theirs. In this full 3D animated trailer, we joined with Riot Forge team to tell the story of this League of Legends’ anti-hero on his epic rebellion against the oppressive regime of the Demacian elite and their Mageseekers. The song ‘Lightbringer’ from Pentakill was specially produced by 2WEI for this trailer, working as a perfect anthem for The Unshackled’s story.

We were proud of being part of the entire production, from the early beginning preproduction until the final delivery, part of the game’s launch campaign in 2023.
