It’s been three years since Jinx and Vi’s saga of strife began; since Jinx murdered Silco, sending her Super Mega Death Rocket hurtling towards Piltover’s council chambers, intent on bringing the city of progress to its knees.

Many real-life hobbies and interests make their way into the gaming space.

Though many great video games have originally started out as novels (Metro 2033, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., The Witcher Series), occasionally, we see the reverse happen, and a game is good enough that it even warrants its own novelization.

Image: The Verge While Google Assistant is going to be around for a while, the future of Google-powered digital assistants now seems to be Gemini.
