Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia
Overview Xin Zhao , the Seneschal of Demacia is a cinematic for League of Legends, released in August 2025, showcasing Xin Zhao's identity within the Season 2025 narrative. The Story This cinematic honors Xin Zhao through the voices of those who know him — a narrative framed not through his own words, but through the legacy he has built in Demacia. "When they speak of Viscero... unbroken, undefeated. Of a warrior who repaid mercy with allegiance." Viscero was Xin Zhao's name in the Noxian fighting pits, a gladiator title that preceded the identity he would build in Demacia.
