Riot Games teased several game projects that were in the works back in October 2019. Since then, the League of Legends developers has branched out to different game genres outside MOBAs. They launched the digital collectible card game Legends of Runeterra in April 2020 and the skill-based team shooter Valorant in June of the same year. The team is also hard at work trying to bring League of Legends to mobile devices with Wild Rift which is currently in beta in multiple regions.
Two games remain unseen and unplayed since Riot announced their new game ventures. One upcoming title is a fighting game that features League of Legends characters. The other title is easily recognizable as an MMO to the trained eye of MMO players. We have heard no news on the upcoming games up until today.
It's finally happening!

PS We’re hiring
