Bandle Tale will invite players to engage in the charming world of Bandle City while embodying their own Yordle character. In response to the malfunctioning portal network causing chaos in Bandle City, players will embark on a whimsical journey to restore balance while working alongside familiar League of Legends champions like Teemo and Veigar. The game’s laid-back experience is designed to appeal to a broad audience, including League enthusiasts, “cozy game” players, and those seeking a magical escapade.
