Riot Games has officially announced Sentinels of Light, the next major multi-game event in the company’s long-running history. It officially begins on July 8 and will include a ton of new experiences in
League of Legends,
Legends of Runeterra,
Sentinels of Light will continue Riot’s first multi-month story arc that started at the beginning of the year with the “Ruination” cinematic, which saw Viego return. In the accompanying artwork for Sentinels of Light, fans can also see Viego and Gwen, as well as League champions Lucian, Senna, and Thresh. The most intriguing image, however, is a figure that may or may not be our first look at the upcoming “Lost Sentinel” champion that Riot has been teasing for some time.
League of Legends’ Elderwood Ornn skin has raised more than $7 million for charity
Remember back in December 2020 when League of Legends developer Riot Games launched the long-awaited Elderwood Ornn as a charity skin? Well, since then it seems a
whole lot of the multiplayer game’s players have been snapping it up, as Riot has now announced the grand total raised as a result – and it’s into the millions of dollars.
“From the end of last year to early January, you all rallied around the ancient shaper of the Elderwood and keeper of divine knowledge by purchasing Elderwood Ornn, the 2020 charity skin,” the studio announces in a dev blog post. “In total, the global League community raised more than $7 million for the Riot Games Social Impact Fund.” Phwoar.
Players were able to purchase the Elderwood Ornn charity skin between December 2020 and January 2021.
The proceeds from all sales were donated to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, a venture fund set by Riot to invest in numerous nonprofits and games-centric initiatives across the globe.
The fund, founded in 2019, is a separate entity from Riot s development and publishing arms. According to the company, the fund has generated over $15 million for various causes.
Last year, the company generated $6 million with a different charity skin, Dawnbringer Karma. Players were also able to nominate nonprofits in their local areas to receive a percentage of the funding.
