I not too long ago had the chance to talk with Rowan Parker, the Inventive Director at Riot Forge Video games. Whereas a number of the interview with Rowan touched on the general design course of at Riot Forge, many of the focus was on the upcoming Tune of Nunu: A League of Legends Story. I’ve to confess I had anticipated the interview to be fairly easy. Based mostly on what I had seen from the trailers for Tune of Nunu thus far, I assumed I knew what was in retailer. A comfortable and playful lighthearted journey by way of the Freljord as Nunu, with Willump and Braum by my aspect. Absolutely there’d be some laughs, some gaffes, and possibly even a guffaw or two.

As my questioning started, Rowan was fast to remind me: Tune of Nunu is being developed by Tequila Works, a developer well-known for his or her hard-hitting narratives in titles like RiME and GYLT. Rowan smirked as I related the dots about what this meant by way of what might be in retailer for Nunu and Willump.

“Wait, so this isn’t only a glad cozy journey?” I requested.

“Nothing unhealthy might presumably occur, proper?” Rowan teased. “What might go unsuitable?”

I feel Rowan mentioned it finest. Tequila Works are masters at creating intimately private tales that know easy methods to hit onerous. I’m not fairly positive how I had not perceived this beforehand. Tequila Works being the developer may, the truth is, be the most important trace into what we will count on from Tune of Nunu.

Wrapping up the interview, I shared some ideas on my newfound information of what’s in retailer.

“I don’t know what’s coming, however I really feel it’s going to hit me tougher than I anticipated,” I mentioned.

Rowan smirked once more. “I feel you in all probability might guess what’s coming. The query is, what taste is it going to be?”

My full interview with Rowan can be out there on September 25, and I like to recommend checking it out for much more particulars on what to anticipate from Tune of Nunu.

Tune of Nunu is on the market for pre-order now on Nintendo Swap and PC by way of Steam, Epic Video games Retailer, and GOG.com forward of its November 1 launch. Different console releases will observe later. A heat and fuzzy Collector’s Version can be out there straight by way of the Riot Video games Merch retailer for all confirmed platforms.
