Convergence: A League of Legends Story is a 2023 Metroidvania video game developed by Double Stallion and published by Riot Forge. Players control an inventor who can manipulate time. It is a spinoff of League of Legends and was released for Windows, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
Players control an inventor named Ekko who comes from the fictional city of Zaun in the League of Legends franchise. Convergence is a Metroidvania video game, a subgenre of platform games that encourage exploration through a side scrolling world. Players can use Ekko's inventions for several purposes: reversing time to prevent Ekko from missing a jump or taking damage in combat; remotely flip switches; slow down time to make it safer to get past dangerous hazards; teleport; and attack enemies from a distance.[2]
