League of Legends Pre-Season released
Riot Games has launched the League of Legends Pre-Season for its multiplayer online battle arena game for Windows PC. The game is being distributed online and at retail through THQ. League of Legends will operate in seasons to foster competitive gaming and communities. The League of Legends Pre-Season will allow time for players to learn the game, build teams, and develop advanced strategies and tactics - in preparation for when Season One begins in the first half of 2010. Players can also look forward to the addition of clans, teams, tournaments, ladders, draft mode, as well as additional content such as new Champions and maps, between now and the start of Season One.
The League of Legends Collector’s Pack, containing exclusive items such as 20 Champions, a selection of Runes and $10 worth of Riot Points, is now available for download at www.leagueoflegends.com as well. The retail League of Legends Collector’s Pack is also available at all major retail outlets for $29.99, and includes an exclusive poster-size fold out map of Valoran with detailed champion portraits and bios on the other side, a $10 pre-paid game card for in-game purchases and an exclusive champion skin.
League of Legends combines role-playing and strategy elements with action and online competition. Built by a veteran development team and the original creators of DotA Allstars, one of the world’s most popular player-made mods, League of Legends is operated as a live service that will be frequently updated with new features, champions, maps and additional content as suggested by the community.
