Trailers
Game, season and event trailers across Riot's titles.
About trailers
Announcement and season trailers, gathered across every Riot title. These are the marketing documents rather than the story ones, and they are indexed here because they frequently contain the first public look at something the canon later treats as settled.
A trailer is often the only dated evidence of when a thing entered the world. For anything unreleased, it is also the most substantive material that exists — which is why this section matters more than its length suggests.
Where a trailer accompanies a story, event or skin line indexed elsewhere in the archive, the entry links through to it.
For a released game a trailer is a footnote. For an unreleased one it is the primary source, and the difference is worth keeping in mind when reading this section: the sparsest entries here are often the most closely examined material on the site.
Trailers also date things nothing else does. A region redesign, a rules change or a character's first appearance frequently shows up in a trailer months before any text acknowledges it, which makes this index useful as a chronology even when it is thin as reading.
How this index is filed
Every entry below is a work Riot published, linked to the original rather than summarised. The list is filtered the same way the rest of the Archive is: champion spotlights, cosmetic adverts, tournament recordings and storefront promos are filed out, so a search for trailers returns trailers and not a battle-pass trailer that happens to carry the same tag. What you see is the filtered set, not everything the database holds.
Each work is also filed by the zone it belongs to and placed on the in-world timeline, so the same entry can be reached three ways — by form here, by place from the zone pages, and by date from the timeline. Ordering here is by publication, newest first, which is the order Riot released them rather than the order they happen in.
The rest of the Archive
The archive is one set of works cut several ways. Trailers is one form; the indexes below hold the others, and every entry in all of them is filed by zone and placed on the in-world timeline.
The Archive of Runeterra is the full index, the timeline puts it in in-world order, and the codex wings describe the world these works are set in rather than the works themselves.
