League of Legends veterans should be familiar with Song of Nunu's endearing characters, but newcomers to the Freljord will have to wait for the plot to come together piece by piece.

Themed "The Song Lives Forever," the official description of the game reads:

"Venture into the idyllic but treacherous world of the Freljord as Nunu, a young boy on a quest to find his lost mother. Unearth the secrets, myths, and legends buried deep in the frozen tundra alongside your best friend, a wise and playful yeti named Willump, and unfold an inspiring story one puzzle at a time."

There are numerous powerful champions in the land of Runeterra, where the games League of Legends and Song of Nunu are based. The developers of Tequila Works, meanwhile, are more fascinated by "wrinkles," or the "little, tiny details that define all of humanity." According to the developers:

"Song of Nunu is a League of Legends Story invites players old and new to experience the League of Legends universe from a fresh lens."

The game is all about the minute details. Nunu embarks on a quest to find his mother. He has a magic flute that can summon various elements, create icy paths, and overcome difficulties players will inevitably run through throughout the game.

However, Nunu's relationship with Willump is one of the key aspects of this exquisite adventure. Thus, the devs said:

"They play together, they laugh together, they cry together, they take care of each other."

Through the frozen Freljord, players can jump, climb, and ride Willump. The creator explained that what the game focuses on is a tale of two extremely different beings. It is about family, pure joy, friendship, and optimism.
