The new Wild Rift Cinematic Trailer features tons of action, and tons of champions in the game. In fact, the new trailer even reveals an upcoming champion, Teemo!

You can watch the amazing cinematic trailer in-action below:

Story

Wild Rift will follow along with the lore of League of Legends. This lore involves champions from across Runeterra coming together to compete in the League of Legends.

Despite having tons of different motivations, these champions are then used to settle disputes out on Summoner's Rift.

In the Wild Rift Cinematic Trailer, we've basically solidified that Jinx will be the figurehead of the game.

This is a unique choice, as Jinx is not one of the core champions that were first introduced to the game in alpha and beta stages.

Thus far, with Riot leaning toward Teemo, Ryze, and Ashe in most imagery, these older champions were always the pick.

So Jinx is a nice change of pace for a game that's, well, a nice change of pace.

Gameplay

While the Wild Rift Cinematic Trailer didn't give us direct gameplay footage, Riot have also released a Gameplay Trailer as well!

These trailers form a fantastic 1-2 punch to push hype levels to absolute maximum!
