Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is a role-playing video game and farm life sim developed by Lithuania-based studio Lazy Bear Games and published by Riot Forge. It was released on February 21, 2024, for Windows and Nintendo Switch. The game, a spin-off of League of Legends, is set in Bandle City, the home of the fictional fairy-like Yordle race, in the fictional universe of Runeterra. The player character is a custom-created Yordle who befriends characters from League of Legends such as Teemo as they seek to fix a malfunction causing the portals connecting each sky island of Bandle City to break. As the player progresses through the game, new parts of the city are unlocked. The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its graphics and atmosphere, but criticized the gameplay as overly repetitive.
