As of May 2025, the original League of Legends is not available on the Nintendo Switch. The game’s complex mechanics and reliance on precise mouse and keyboard controls make it challenging to adapt to the Switch’s hardware.
However, Riot Games has expanded the League of Legends universe through Riot Forge, collaborating with various developers to create spin-off titles that are available on the Nintendo Switch.
These games explore different genres and offer new perspectives on the League of Legends lore:
- Ruined King: A League of Legends Story: A turn-based RPG developed by Airship Syndicate, where players control a party of champions like Miss Fortune and Yasuo to uncover the secrets of the Black Mist in Bilgewater and the Shadow Isles.
- Convergence: A League of Legends Story: A 2D action-platformer by Double Stallion, focusing on Ekko’s time-manipulating abilities as he navigates the city of Zaun.
- The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story: An action RPG from Digital Sun, following Sylas’s quest for vengeance against the oppressive Mageseekers in Demacia.
- Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story: A heartfelt adventure game by Tequila Works, chronicling the journey of Nunu and his yeti friend Willump through the Freljord.
- Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story: A life-simulation game set in the whimsical world of Bandle City, featuring the yordles.
While the core League of Legends experience isn’t on the Switch, these titles provide fans with diverse gameplay experiences within the same universe.
For those seeking a MOBA experience on the go, League of Legends: Wild Rift is available on iOS and Android devices, offering a streamlined version of the original game optimized for touch controls.
