League of Legends 2025 Season Trailer Reaches New Heights

The profound political landscape of Noxus is not only a beloved background for League of Legends fans, but also a masterpiece that makes players excited.

Although the pre-season trailer is Riot Games' annual masterpiece every year, the trailer for the 2025 season has clearly reached new heights. Thanks to the enthusiastic response and excellent quality of the "Arcane" animated series, this "Welcome to Noxus" trailer has far surpassed the previous year's "Still Here" in terms of viewing data. Compared with the previous work in 2024, which accumulated 131 million views, the new trailer exceeded the 170 million views mark in less than a week after it was released.

This new season trailer showcases a multitude of characters, full of pop culture and Arcane-style nods, while delicately depicting the spiritual core of Noxus. The trailer not only takes us deep into characters such as Drizzt and Darius, but also presents a mysterious atmosphere like Eyes Wide Shut through the lens of Katarina and Elise, injecting unprecedented vitality into the world of Runeterra. The accompanying background music "Bite Marks" sung by TEYA adds to the film's shocking effect and extremely high replay value.

The biggest highlight of Welcome to Noxus is its "official history" attribute, which is rare in Riot's previous pre-season trailers. All the plots in the trailer are based on the official storyline of Runeterra. This delicate and deeply integrated narrative technique, coupled with the excellent animation quality, is even considered to be a hint of similar projects in the future "Arcane". Although Riot executives have explicitly denied that this trailer is a prologue to a new series, they also said that they have considered producing related content with Noxus as the background. Therefore, it is not unfounded that players have great expectations for seeing a Noxus-themed adaptation in the future.

No matter what the future brings, Riot Games' leadership in animation is undeniable. This trailer once again proves how excellent animation can move people, unite fans, and even transcend the game itself to become a unique cultural phenomenon.
