Rumors suggest Riot is making a new Action RPG based on the League of Legends IP.

Riot Games has always been known as the League of Legends company. However, in 2019, it all started to change as Riot released their second game Teamfight Tactics, an Auto Battler based on the League of Legends IP.

Just a year after that Riot released 3 more games. First, there was League of Legends: Wild Rift, a mobile version of the iconic MOBA. Then came Legends of Runeterra, a card game based on the League of Legends universe, and finally, VALORANT, a brand-new first-person shooter that wasn’t tied to the League of Legends IP at all.

VALORANT marked a turning point for Riot Games. It made it clear that Riot wasn’t just a one-game company but a serious contender in the gaming world, capable of developing games across different genres.

After the release of VALORANT, Riot created Riot Forge partnering up with different studios and creating games such as Ruined King, Convergence, The Mageseeker, and more. Moreover, Riot is planning to release its fighting game called 2XKO soon.

Not only that, there have been some rumors and leaks that suggest Riot is also working on an Action RPG similar to Genshin Impact.

Riot Games’ Newest Action RPG

According to rumors, Riot has been working on a 3rd-person Action RPG in Unreal Engine 5. Similar to Riot’s other titles, the game will be a multiplayer experience with a heavy focus on narrative and world-building.

The game is set based on the League of Legends IP and is rumored to have Hero Collector elements. So, we can assume there will be Gacha elements in the game. Think of Genshin Impact with League of Legends characters. It is also going to be released globally. Not only that, the game is expected to be multiplatform and a mobile version of the game is already in development.

As for the release date, the game is still said to be early in development, so there’s not a concrete release date yet.
