- Despite these changes, Riot remains committed to its core live games – League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and Wild Rift. The company plans to prioritize these games to deliver the content, features, and updates players have been requesting.
- Revolt is multiplying down on coordinating esports, music, amusement, and narrating all the more firmly with its games. This incorporates impending occasions like Hidden Season 2 in November 2024 and progress on projects like Venture L.
- However, Riot is making changes to Legends of Runeterra, reducing the team size and renewing focus on the Path of Champions PvE mode due to financial challenges since launch.
- Riot Forge, which collaborated with external studios to develop smaller games in the Riot IP, will not be pursuing new game development after the upcoming release of Bandle Tale.
- In the Philippines, Uproar Games is carrying VALORANT nearer to neighborhood networks through drives like VCT Champions 2024.
So in outline, Mob is merging assets to focus on its greatest games and esports drives, while unwinding a few more modest tasks, as a feature of the work to guarantee long-haul supportability.
