IGN can exclusively reveal a brand new music video for the upcoming Song of Nunu: A League of Legends story titled "You and Me Makes Us". The original song is written and performed by Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter DEEGAN and co-published by Riot Games Music and The Hit House Global Publishing BMI. The animated music video follows Nunu and his Yeti Willump's friendship while revealing another League of Legends Champion that will appear in Song of Nunu – Volibear. The song is a bit of a bop and feels right at home in the music catalog produced for Riot’s various games.
The music video features a mixture of animation styles and hints at the type of hijinks our heroes will get into during their journey. Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story follows Nunu and Willump as they journey across the Freljord on what Riot calls the “ultimate road trip.” We debuted a story trailer earlier this year that showcased various features and characters, which you can read about and watch here.
Song of Nunu is an adventure game that tells the story of League of Legends characters Nunu and Willump. Nunu, hailing from the nomadic Notai tribe who reside in the Freljord, is joined by Willump – a magical yeti and the last of his kind. Song of Nunu centers around a road trip-like journey through the Freljord in search of Nunu's missing mother, showcasing their unbreakable bond as friends while discovering more about their past. Along their journey, several fan-favorite League of Legends characters play pivotal roles. Based on previous trailers and the newest music video, Braum, Volibear, and Lissandra are all confirmed to show up during their journey. And, while yet to be seen, I'm willing to bet a particular winged spirit will appear in some fashion, along with a few others known to exist in the Freljord.
Tequila Works is known for such games as Gylt, Rime, The Sexy Brutale, and Deadlight. As for Riot Forge, they are a publisher within Riot Games that has been behind such other League of Legends Story games like The Mageseeker, Ruined King, CONV/RGENCE, and Hextech Mayhem.
Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story will be released November 1st at 9 AM PT on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store and is currently up for preorder on digital storefronts for 29.99. Riot will also be releasing a $99.99 physical collector’s edition in the Riot Store that will include a Willump plush, Poro plush, Song of Nunu art book, four Freljord postcards, five collectible enamel pins, a collectible artwork print, and a campfire pop-up diorama.

It’s not an official theme or anything, but this week’s TV is all about fighting. There’s the two sides of superhero coming-of-age stories on Prime Video alone: the season finale of Gen V and the season premiere of Invincible. Over on Netflix there’s Blue Eye Samurai, a new show about one woman’s quest for revenge in Edo-era Japan, while on Paramount Plus the new Taylor Sheridan-produced show about Bass Reeves (David Oyelowo) is sure to bring on some Wild West violence. Throw in Love Island Games, and it seems like no matter which platform you turn to, you’re gonna get some clashes.
Stardew Valley is one of the most successful indie games of all time, with lifetime sales of over 20 million copies since its launch in 2016. Since then, developer ConcernedApe has expanded the brand to include new ventures such as the Stardew Valley board game and is currently working on his next game, Haunted Chocolatier.
With how much Dead Island 2’s apocalypse parody poked fun at the Los Angeles area earlier this year, I guess it was only a matter of time before it turned its attention from vicious zombies to equally mindless cultists. I mean, how could they forget California’s reputation for welcoming eccentric people who then take advantage of our tolerance by brainwashing vast swathes of the population? Thankfully, this is something developer Dambuster Studios has corrected with its first DLC, Haus, which transports your character to a cult compound in Malibu where you’ll rub elbows with rich elites and smack down zombies who look like they’re dressed for the runway. And while I won't turn my nose up at a few more good laughs from a game I enjoyed, a three-hour runtime and very few new wrinkles to change up Dead Island 2’s basic zombie slashing formula make this jaunt extremely short-lived and a little unexciting.
The Fallout TV series finally has a release date. In a tweet, Amazon Prime Video confirmed that the live-action adaptation of the eponymous Bethesda video game franchise will premiere April 12, 2024, exclusively on the streamer. The news comes in celebration of the annual Fallout Day — October 23 — which marks the day when the retro-futuristic in-game world was turned into a nuclear wasteland, causing survivors to scavenge and live off irradiated junk. HBO's Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are developing the series under their Kilter Films banner — billed as an original story set in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles and will be included as Fallout universe canon.

If you adore the Metal Gear series as much as I do, then today's your day. I have scoured my Soliton Radar for discounts that will let you secure a classic like Metal Gear Solid and remain financially liquid. The only foreseable problem: the Master Collections of these games do seem to be selling out quite rapidly on PlayStation and Xbox. Here's hoping stock levels remain stable (or get quickly refreshed via nanomachines).
Star Citizen's single-player campaign, Squadron 42, is now «feature complete,» according to Cloud Imperium Games' Chris Roberts in a video released over the weekend at CitizenCon.
