League Of Legends developer Riot Games have confirmed that they’re engaged on a preventing game. The announcement got here by way of EVO 2019, due to the occasion’s founder and Riot worker Tom Cannon. “I’m not here to say the game’s coming out any time soon,” he cautioned, “but I do feel like we’re making progress and I felt like it was only appropriate that we reset the conversation and let everybody know that what you think we’re working on, yeah, that’s actually what we’re working on.” You can see the second clipped under.
“I wanna be able to let people in on maybe the worst kept secret in the universe,” says Cannon. “I can confirm that we are working on a fighting game for Riot.”
This framing (“we” are engaged on it “for” Riot) presumably refers back to the latter’s 2016 acquisition of Radiant Entertainment. Radiant was based by Cannon and his brother and put the preventing game Rising Thunder into open alpha earlier than the game’s growth was shuttered as a part of the acquisition. No shock then, that they’ve been engaged on a unique game in the identical style since then.
“The reason we did Rising Thunder in the first place was because we felt like fighting games just deserved to be enjoyed by way more people,” Cannon continued. The game’s one-button combos lent it approachability, and he advised that this stays considered one of their goals for Riot’s as-yet untitled work in progress.
“It’s far away,” he insisted. “No trailer, no name, and a lot of hard work.”
We don’t even know but if it’s linked to the world of League Of Legends, however Riot have not too long ago stretched the MOBA into an auto battler by way of Teamfight Tactics, so it’s doable they’re open to increasing it into different genres, too.
