New League of Legends Rhythm Game, Hextech Mayhem, Announced and It’s Coming To Netflix Too

Riot Games announces Hextech Mayhem A League of Legends Story. It is a rhythm-based rhythm-based video game that will come to Switch and PC next Wednesday. 

Revealed today, Hextech Mayhem is described by Riot as a “fast-paced rhythm runner” set in the world of League of Legends, as reported by Eurogamer. It specifically takes place in Piltover, and there’s going to be a lot of bombs in the city, courtesy of Ziggs. 

“From Choice Provisions comes Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story, a fast-paced rhythm runner set in Piltover where every action has an explosive reaction and no amount of mayhem is too much,” the description for the announcement trailer reads. “Play as Ziggs on a quest to build the greatest bomb the world has ever seen while outrunning no-fun-allowed Heimerdinger.”

According to the description Bit. Choice Provisions is the Trip Runner creator and is currently working on Hextech Mayhem. What’s interesting about that is that it seemingly indicates Riot is continuing to take inspiration from Nintendo and allowing third-party developers (particularly those that skew more indie) to develop games set in the world of its usually first-party-developed IP. Brace Yourself Games did the same thing with Nintendo and their rhythm version of The Legend of Zelda: Cadence of Hyrule. 

Based on Eurogamer, Riot’s own in-house publisher, Riot Forge, is dedicated to releasing games set in the League of Legends universe, “all developed by other, non-Riot studios.” Hextech Mayhem hails from Riot Forge, too. 

Hextech Mayhem will also be available on Switch and PC next Tuesday, November 16th. Riot stated that the Hextech Mayhem will then be arriving on Netflix later in the year. Eurogamer. This seems to indicate that Netflix and Riot’s League of Legends relationship will continue beyond the currently-airing Arcane series. It’s no surprise the two want this relationship to continue, either, as the animated Arcane series set in the world of League of Legends is reviewing really well, by both critics and fans too.
