Legends of Runeterra has a new PVE game mode coming out tomorrow, November 10, called The Path of Champions. In this mode you'll get to select a Champion and progress with them through a story which features comics and battles. Along the way, you'll collect power ups and make choices to determine how your story ends.

We've collected all the information that we know so far and have it available down below. If you'd like to watch Riot's teaser for the event, you can do so in the video below.
