Song of Nunu: A League of Legends story gameplay

Song of Nunu is a single-player narrative adventure focused on Nunu and his journey to find his mother, Layka. She was separated from Nunu when raiders attacked a Notai caravan in Freljord, and for years Nunu has tried to hunt her down with no luck.

As you traverse across Freljord, you’ll have to complete many puzzles. Nunu can play his flute to complete them ⁠— and Willump will even dance along if he likes the tune.

What Nunu lacks in brute power though, Willump brings in spades, climbing up mountain faces like it’s nothing to get to hard-to-reach areas.

From the trailer, it’s set to be a beautiful adventure through one of Runeterra’s harshest places, with a feel-good story to boot.

We’ll update this piece with more Song of Nunu news as it arises ahead of its 2023 release date.
