Legends of Runeterra “Guardians of the Ancient” Game Trailer by Mike&Payne and Sun Creature

Sun Creature EP Mikkel Okholm in Copenhagen, Denmark: “Riot Games reached out to us to make an animated promotion trailer for a new release in their game Legends of Runeterra – a battle between Ionia and the invading forces of Noxus, narrated by Zilean, a powerful time wizard who can see and rewind different timelines.

“We were immediately sold on the brief and reached out to our friends Mike&Payne who shared our excitement, and soon after a great collaboration began.

“The team at Riot were once again awesome to work with, the process was very creative, collaborative, and fun, and it resulted in an epic trailer that we’re all very proud of.”
