Lunar Revel receives beautiful cinematic, fans still feel lackluster for League Season 2023

Lunar Revel 2023 Cinematic

The first League of Legends cinematic for the year is now available. Riot Games has revealed a cinematic teaser for the forthcoming Lunar Revel event “Hop On” in League of Legends.

Champions dressed in Lunar Revel attire fly across several scenic settings on a magical flying bus in the video. The cinematic contains no speech, yet it is masterfully produced in a way that combines 2D and 3D images.

Panda Annie, Brave Phoenix Xayah, and many new skins from the Lunar Revel 2023 event are among the skins featured in the “Hop On” cinematic. The forthcoming Mythmaker Garen, Mythmaker Irelia, Lunar Empress Ashe, and Lunar Emperor Thresh were among the new skins showcased.

The cinematic for the Lunar Revel 2023 event arrives only one day after Riot failed to meet fan expectations for the debut of a new ranked season cinematic.

Riot apologized for the lackluster of Season 2023 Cinematic

Riot has been releasing a cinematic for each season to hype up the year since season 2018 with the release of The Climb. Riot, on the other hand, delivered the cinematic for season 13, The Brink of Infinity, in 2023. While fans were thrilled to see what Riot was up to, they were swiftly let down by the cinematic, which was lackluster and minimalist.

Riot Games posted a thread on Twitter less than a day after the cinematic’s release. And this thread was an apology for the Season 2023 Cinematic catastrophe.

However, they then noted that owing to “unprecedented circumstances,” this year’s season cinematic was different than prior years. Despite the fact that they thought the season 2023 cinematic kept the same spirit as the previous. They admitted that they were mistaken in this situation and that they could have connected more with the fans.

Riot also stated that they continue to believe in League’s future and are investing in it. Finally, they emphasized that we will see how that investment appears in the future days.

Currently, all we can do is wait, and we don’t have to wait for long. Since the Lunar Revel 2023 cinematic is already out, it looks like Riot is heading toward the correct path.
