League of Legends Beautiful Cinematic Will Toss You Back into Arcane

2025 starts with Season 1 of League of Legends, introducing some changes to the game and also an absolutely beautiful cinematic called Bite Marks, which will bring back the memories of Arcane; no wonder – it was created in collaboration with its animators from Fortiche.

The season's theme is Noxus, with Arcane's Mel appearing in the video in all her golden glory, searching for her own answers while League of Legends Champions, including Katarina, Elise, Trundle, and Darius, are busy fighting. Startingly, the Black Rose also makes an appearance, intriguing everyone eager for more lore developments.

Mel's presence in the cinematic might mean she'll become the next Champion, as discussed before.

"I think we were all, in the writers' room, thinking 'we're making something badass and unique here – hopefully, fingers crossed, they'll put her in the game.' I think that was always our hope that some of the characters in the show would go to the game and vice versa," said Amanda Overton, Arcane's writer and producer.

Season 1 brings a new coat of paint to the map, an Epic monster named Atakhan, and Feats of Strength – a system that replaces the gold bonuses from First Blood and First Turret.

"Whichever team first completes two of the three Feats of Strength (First Blood, First Turret, and Monster Slaying) wins the Feats for that game and will have their Tier 2 boots upgraded to their Triumphant versions. Later in the game, the Feat-winning team will also have the opportunity to upgrade their Tier 2 boots to Tier 3 by spending gold. But in order to do so, they must have at least two legendary items in their inventory."

Naturally, there are also new skins coming.
