Joe Madureira Reveals Shadow Isles Concept Art from Ruined King: A League of Legends Story

Portrait of Joe Madureira wearing Airship Syndicate Clothes

The Riot Games 'Summer Game Fest' interview happened earlier today, and a tiny bit of information came out of it. The biggest bit of info was a new piece of concept art showing off the Shadow Isles location that will be featured in the Ruined King. It seems League of Legends fans were pretty upset about this reveal since very little was shown or announced.

However, there was some insight on a Battle Chasers: Nightwar sequel, in which Joe revealed that Airship Syndicate WAS working on it before they got approached by Riot Games to work on a League of Legends project. This is pretty heartbreaking for Battle Chasers fans since we'd all love a sequel to advance the story of Gully, Garrison and the gang. This makes total sense now why we haven't heard anything about a sequel to Battle Chasers: Nightwar, as well as the Battle Chasers comics, since Joe is heavily focused on the development of the Ruined King and so anything Battle Chasers related is most likely on the backburner for now.

Check out the full interview below.

Hollywood Reporter Interview with Joe Madureira and new Battle Chasers 10 Artwork by Ludo Lullabi

Joe Madureira did a small interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the in-progress continuation of Battle Chasers 10-12 written by Joe and drawn by Ludo Lullabi. I'll pull out some of the highlights below. About Battle Chasers 10: The new comic is due to hit by year’s end, once again from publisher Image Comics, and will be followed monthly by no. 11 and no. 12, with a goal to tell a complete story arc. Madureira is writing the comic but, as opposed to the previous issues, not drawing. Instead, he handed those duties to Ludo Lullabi, whom he discovered while making 2017’s Battle Chasers: Nightwar role playing game. He does plan on drawing variant covers , however. And to whet appetites, the return issue will be 32 pages, no ads. "I just want to make a cool comic that people talk about," Madureira says. "It may be a little more edgier, a bit more mature than before. I’m curious to see how it will be received." About Battle Chasers delays; past and present: Ma...
