Yorldes in Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story

Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is a new expansion of the lore in the League of Legends Universe, with a little bit of a twist. How much will it cost to play, and is it free? Here’s everything you need to know. 

Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is set in the mysterious Bandle City, and you get to play as your very own Yorlde. The game is a cozy take on the League of Legends universe, and players can craft, host parties, and discover the mysteries of the spirit realm. 

Bandle Tale is releasing on February 21 on multiple platforms. Yorldes and Bandle City are some of the most unknown parts of League of Legends lore, and this game will be the first media that explores this small spot of the spirit realm. 

But how much will it cost to play? Here is everything we know about the upcoming release. 

Will Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story be free to play?

No, Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is not free to play. 

The game is available for preorder on Steam, Epic Games, Nintendo Eshop, and GOG for $24.99. You can also get the Deluxe Edition for $29.99, which includes a secret menu, pathway effects for your character, exclusive outfits, and new exterior designs for your backpack. 

As far as any future plans for making the game free to play, though, we are not sure what that looks like. Considering Bandle Tale will be the last release under Riot Forge, it may not be likely. 

Bandle Tale will take players on an adventure that requires them to craft a variety of items to progress in the story. Your character has a backpack that acts as a mobile home, and you will explore Bandle City to find out more about the previously unknown Yordle home.
