It’s no longer a secret that League of Legends developer Riot Games is developing a fighting game. Three years ago, the company brought in the fighting game team from Radiant Entertainment. It was not until today that the studio confirmed that it was developing a new game.
“I wanted to let everyone know that I am developing a fighting game for Riot,” Radiant co-founder Tom Cannon said on Evo’s Twitch stream. Exactly what the game will look like – or what it will be called – is still a mystery, but it looks like it will build on Radiant’s previous project, Rising Thunder.
“The reason we developed Rising Thunder in the first place is because the team wanted fighting games to be enjoyed by more people. Given their potential, I think the game could be even bigger. The first step back then was developing a small fighting indie game, and the team learned a lot from that. At Riot, what we’re doing is creating things that players can be proud of.”
In the announcement to USgamer, Riot said, “We are working hard to create a game worthy of the vibrant fighting game community and are making good progress, but there is still a long way to go for the team to be ready. Share more details.”
Another hint that we have since November is when Riot trademarked Legends of Runeterra. We don’t know exactly what that project is – it could be the product name – but it could also be the perfect name for the League of Legends fighting game.
