Riot Games confirms the creation of Riot Forge, a new division that will work with third party companies to publish unpublished experiences within the League of Legends universe. After the confirmation last October of its internal roadmap, the US giant goes a step further in its work of controlling new markets.
Leanne Loombe, director of this new team, affirms her commitment to collaborate with other talents beyond her ranks. "Our commitment to the long-term success of our developers is firm, and we will work together to offer incredible experiences for all types of players."
In the press release attached to the announcement, the company repeatedly emphasizes its focus on developing "finite experiences that offer new ways to dive into the League of Legends universe" from other "genres and platforms." These projects come to serve as a complement to their current multiplayer projects, such as Legends of Runeterra and the various projects still by owner. "External studies will create custom and juegos completable games."
Although they have not yet transcended the first names after Riot Forge, they do confirm that the chosen collaborators “are already working” to debut in the future. "The only thing we can say at the moment is that they are fantastic and very talented studios," they describe in their newly released web portal. Although it still seems too early: "Our developers have just started on their projects."
Contrary to the path that Riot Games has taken in recent years, with this brand they want to reach a wider range of platforms, "including PCs, consoles and mobiles." They say they want their games to be as accessible as possible, although they report that not everyone will be on all platforms. "We want to make sure that each one is designed with the right one in mind to offer the best possible gaming experience."
