We Are Royale Release the Hounds in New “League of Legends” Cinematic

Creative production company We Are Royale (WAR) recently partnered with Riot Games to create a cinematic trailer announcing the release of Naafiri, the latest playable champion in its massively popular video game League of Legends.

Naafiri’s ability to inhabit multiple mortal bodies forms the crux of the two-minute animation. WAR used several animation techniques including 3D, cel, 2.5D, and even machine learning to give each stage of her transformation a unique visual style.

The spot received more than 1.7 million views in its first 24 hours.
