Ok, there are admittedly some minor differences I overlooked. However, I don't see how it invalidates his old lore. For example, the sorcerers' armor binding is just another way of saying the liches revitalized his form on his first resurrection.

As for the lack of explicit statement of how he was sealed, how does the Shadows of Damnation start? The Black Mist coiled and twisted like a living creature...

Now to be clear, I'm not saying that his new lore is exactly the same as his old lore. I'm saying that it CAN be. More information would be necessary to understand how manifests and to truly consider it a retcon. As of now, it's just merely an expansion of the possibilities.

Now a few things that are mentioned is that his undead army is within his battleground. It doesn't mean that himself is still there, but it does mean that if he were to appear, his undead army would likely appear all around the Immortal Bastion.

One possible explanation of this is that quite literally, his new kingdom is in the underworld. In the underworld as in under the Immortal Bastion. When he appears he and his army climb up from under Noxus and take everything by storm.

Now if is smarter than that, she wouldn't let  stay in same place as potentially his entire dang army. So the other possibility is that the old lore still persists, yet when makes his crusade to go onto the mainland. He will invade Noxus with that ambush of all the hidden undead in Noxii territory.

I'm sure there are many other ways his story could go, but the point is it has a lot of options. The old lore is one way it could go.
